Last night we went to the CHUM annual open house. CHUM is the organization where Joe and Emma ride horses. Joe has been riding with CHUM since he was 14 months old. Joe's class at school also rides with CHUM about once a month. This year he has made a lot of progress and is now riding independently. Every year Bonnie gives out an award to a volunteer, staff, adult rider, youth rider, and child rider. This year Joe won child rider of the year for 2010! Way to go, Joe!
