Not this past weekend but the one before that we did something new.. I wrote a post on that Friday about stress relief and was pretty down in the dumps. The weekend un uneventful and on Sunday morning we started doing yard work since it was a pretty day. I happened to look at facebook to see a post from someone saying they were ranch sorting at her barn that afternoon, and everyone was invitied. Well ranch sorting is like a rodeo compeition. It was so much fun and being around horses and a barn just made me SO happy!
Kelsey has always loved horses and talks about them constantly, but when she has the chance to be near them she freaks. I can't blame her they are huge animals and can be scary. We went down to see the barn and talk with our friend some. At first Kelsey was scared and wouldn't even look at the horses in the stalls. They were sticking their heads out of the bars and it freaked her out. Then I was turned around talking and I look to see this....
Then I went over to her because I was sooo happy. And she kept doing it. She was feeding him one strand of hay at a time...melt my heart.
Then we walked back up to the ring and she helped me lead a horse up it was so funny.
Then....she rode!!! AHHH with our friend but still she was on a horse and it wasn't a pony ride. Trust me it made my week :)
Ah - so sweet! She's learning to love horses just like her mom :-)
