Now that we live in the country, we have lots of open space and acres and acres for the kids to play on. Along with that comes neighbors...neighbors that own horses. 5 horses to be exact. I believe the boys say their names are Chico(my absolute fav), Bity(apparently this one likes to bite), White Socks(self explanatory), Sophia(who we decided yesterday is probably a boy, but the kids swear it's a girl) and the last horses name escapes me at the moment. At any rate, all 5 are magnificent creatures and absolutely beautiful. Here for the past year we have been going to visit them a couple times a month but only stopping at the fence and petting them from there. Well, this past weekend, the boys decided to venture out and jump the fence and be IN with the horses. Good idea? Bad idea? Being the good parents we are, we decided this is okay, as long as the kids respect the horses and their space. Of course Taya wanted in so after a couple minutes, Taya and I shimmied over the fence and got up close and personal, too. A-mazing. I fell in love. All 5 are wonderful, but Chico stole my heart. He gave me a few nudges as if to say hello.
These pics are from our Saturday visit. We went back Sunday too but with no camera.
I think this one should be in a magazine. So calming and peaceful.
This one puts a smile in my heart.
Love them.
Corbin has decided that we are going to spend time with the horses every Saturday and Sunday from now on. Who knows, maybe one day they'll let us ride em'.
