Tonight, Kaleigh had her third horseback riding lesson at the Dubai Polo and Equestrian Club, which is in our neighborhood about 2 miles from our villa. Since many of the schools here are on Spring Break this week, there was only one other girl in her class (normally about 3-4), which meant more horse riding time! Their lessons right now basically focus on getti
ng used to balancing on the horses and it's amazing what Kaleigh has accomplished in just three lessons. She can even stand up on the horse now. She has a German instructor, Christina, who is fabulous with the kids and keeps a smile on her face at all times. She is very encouraging and has lots of patience! While Kaleigh rides, Ashlyn gets to trot around on a pony for abo
ut 30 dirhams (equivalent of about 8-9 dollars). Afterwards, we have started a tradition of having dinner at one of the Polo Club cafes - - it's very casual and you can watch folks ride their horses while you eat. The kids all run around and play in the Arabic tents that surround the area. The tents are filled with cushions and have heavy curtains that provide endless places for playing hide-and-seek!
