Three girls on a horse... we won't be able to fit well for much longer. We may have to start using Lolly's (the barn manager's) two little ponies sometime next year -- perhaps Lolly's girls will have outgrown them by then?
Our house is next to a couple of barns. We drive by them and everyday, the girls ask to see "neigh-neighs." They want to stop, pet and feed them "flowers." Grass does much better.
Today we went down to our barn to visit and ride Misty. Lolly watches the girls while I get to saddle up and ride. While I got to wander the Pacifica hills, florecent yellow with sour grass, and feel the breezes staight off the ocean water, the girls got to spend time with the brand new litter of rabbits and some goat-kids only 2-weeks old. After Mommy's ride, each girl gets to take a stroll down the lane riding Misty-mare with Mommy . They love it (and so I!!) click here to see more barnyard photos, including the baby bunnies and goats
With the weather warming up, and the girls interested enough in the barnyard animals, we will start to make these regular "therapy" sessions for mommy and play dates for the girls.
