Red

So we got a new horse. His name is Red. We "inherited" him from my sister and fam. They decided to get rid of him so they could stop buying hay and attempt to move to town to save gas. He is so gentle that he is like 1200 pound dog instead of a horse. Paige loves "her" horse. Every night when Adam gets home she thinks it's time to ride. She also thinks that she now gets to go with when he leaves to go to the mountains to go riding, to the point that she threw a fit when she woke up last Sunday morning and found out that Daddy had gone hunting in the mountains without her!


Paige is on Red. He looks unhappy because he had just had his feet trimmed and was feeling a little sore. Porter is on Jerob's (Adam's brother) horse Silly.

Here is a close up of Paige on Red.
Here is Porter on Silly. He always has to have the reins, which he always has to pull back on! Poor Silly! As we were maneuvering the horses into place to get the picture of the kids together, every time Silly took a step Porter would say "whoa!" out of the surprise of the movement and poor Silly, would stop because someone said "whoa!". Needless to say, it took a few minutes to finally get Silly over there!

Your kids look so adorable on those horses. Gracie is jealous b/c her super lame mom won't buy her a horse. :) Thanks for coming to play group the other day!
