The Little Equestrienne

In the weeks before we left Brasilia, I had the chance to take horseback riding lessons.  The riding school works with kiddos to help them feel comfortable with horses, but also to provide a unique form of exercise that focuses on balance and coordination.  Many children and adults with special needs also take lessons for riding therapy.  The "tia's" or riding instructors were super-sweet, and I had a great time riding in the hills above Brasilia!
