Trail riding at Fort Wilderness

After my terrifying experience riding the world's hungriest horse in the Smokies (link here), I wanted to face my fears and get on a more stable, 'Disney-trained' kind of horse so that I can relax and enjoy it a little bit more next time:). So we headed over to the gorgeous Fort Wilderness for some trail ridin' fun...I was relaxed and happy when we got there :)

And Maddy's such a natural...

But I was so afraid when it was time to get on my "Merlin"...

 

And the close up...

 

But it all worked out in the end!

 

We had a gorgeous ride through the woods and saw plenty of deer and some gorgeous birds too. A beautiful way to spend a Sunday with my lovely daughter :)
