Carter was mesmerized by the horses, but he didn't want to ride them. Every time we asked him if he wanted to ride the horse, he said, "no please!". Here comes the tough love. Clay and I knew that once he got on the horse, he would really enjoy it. He just had to face his fear. We gave him a few chances for him to choose for himself to ride the horse. "no please". Ok, fine. You are going to ride the horse and you are going to like it...we promise!!!
