Hello again everyone!
This time I'll be publishing a couple of pictures from the past, and not so distant past.
In the first one Leo rides for the first time when a father of his kindergarten friend invited Leo to join a horse safari for kids. I tagged along and shot some photos...
Utter fun!
Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: EF-S18-55mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 III
Focal length: 18 mm
Aperture: ƒ/4.5
Exposure: 1/400 s
ISO: 200
Some years later, in last Spring, Vera sent him to a horse riding camp, where he learned to take care of horses and ride by himself. There were also a lot of farm animals like a pig, sheep and goats, bunch of hen and two or three roosters, domesticated doves and of course a lot of ponies and horses. It was pretty much everything a kid could wish for.
He loved it!
...although you can't really see it in the picture. ;)
Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: Sigma ART 50 mm ƒ/1.4
Aperture: ƒ/4
Exposure: 1/200 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 100+200
But he was really energized and happy after the camp.
I was personally quite interested at how they treated Leo. He seemed to get the most out of the whole camp. It was like they were directing him personally with all the important stuff, and all the other "students" (who all happened to be girls) seemed to get the remains.
But I do get it, in a way. In a way it makes sense that a sport or hobby that is mostly female, would feel the need for some boys to join too. It's natural to hope the other sex would get interested in what you do. (But I know some feminists would gladly invent a slew of other reasons. "Oppression", "patriarchy" and so on...)
All that doesn't matter though. Leo liked horse riding, and that's what does matter.
I'm thinking, he might want to attend one of these camps again some day.
If you liked the post, consider buying me a beer:
Totally agree with you, my friend, if Leo likes to deal with horses and generally take care of animals, that's fine! Excellent photos and you can immediately see that the boy is happy! Thank you @gamer00

Great photo.Riding and caring for horses, which can be more interesting for the child. The more it is proved that it is the horses that have a beneficial effect on the unstable psyche of the child.

Leo will be very happy to go there again

Riding horses is a lot of fun! It brought back one memory of mine. I was really really little back then, I can't remember how or when, but I clearly remember I was looking at this horse from up close and to me, it looked like this horse was as tall as a building. My dad put me on the horse and it looked like I was sooo far away from ground. I don't know how my imagination could've possibly make this memory, but I really remember it like that. I still can't believe that it looked so tall. lol

Doesn’t matter if it’s mostly a “girl” hobby. I’m a guy and I think it’s awesome! It’s even better that doesn’t deter him from doing what he likes too!

Has anyone ever asked how come you have pictures from years past?? I guess am asking now. I can barely trace photos of 3 years except for the ones I purposely uploaded online so I could download when I need them

Well for me they are already online. I uploaded them years ago... Some times I will scour through my harddrive and find stuff I haven't already uploaded, I re-edit and upload them. On my computer, I name all the directories under
~/Picturesas dates and an identifier like the following:2015-11-04 – Forest creeps.That way, when I look the contents of
~/Pictures, I can immediately read when and what I have photographed in each directory name. :)Oh, and to answer your first question... no, no-one has asked it yet. You'd be the first.

I'm just weak when it comes to animals so I feel bad for poor horsie entangled with all kind of belts. That has to carry damn humans when they want to :(
But it's probably fun to ride on a huge beast with full speed.
I'd ride a beast if it chose me as its rider. Dragon or T-Rex would be perfect.

@gamer00,
A cute kid to teenage. When we look at them how they grow, what they do now as a father you can be proud! Same story happens to me! But one thing I want to tell you! So, I am just asking this!
If someone ask you which age you wish to see Leo now what is your answer bro? Photography #1 or #2!
My answer I like to see my son at that age! photography #1. Coz, he is still a new born child to me :D
Cheers~

Make sure that Horse riding for beginners should be fun and playful, It gives you a sense of life, you may not feel time and you are above the horse, It was a nice experience I had when I travel in the mountain. I wish leo had a good time

In the first photo Leo looked very thrilled but still uncertain. In the second photo he looked like a master of the horse! How kids grow up so fast! Horse riding is very expensive here And Is the sport of the rich!
