That's My Horse




A few months ago we rented the movie, Spirit, a Disney cartoon movie where the horse is the main character. Abigail fell in love with it. We finally sent it back to Netflix thinking that she might move on to something else. Nope. She kept asking to watch that movie again. We thought that we would look for it at Christmas for a gift. One day I had taken the girls over to a friends house to watch them while I went to the doctor. They had the horse movie! Well, my friend ended up giving us the movie because she said her girls never watch it. Abigail was so happy! We' have been wanting to take Abigail to see some horses around our area and even in Texas when we went, but it just hasn't worked out. Well, we didn't have much planned today and I researched stables in the area and found one less than a mile from our house, on the same main road to get to our subdivision! We took the girls out and they had all the horses outside in corrals. Abigail and Hannah really enjoyed the horses. There was one horse who was more friendly than the others. He would nibble and lick our hands and he even would nuzzle my neck. He was a real sweetheart. Well, that's the one that Abigail named as being her horse. (She's also claimed a dog that lives behind us as "her big dog" even though we have never met the people, nor the dog!) The owner of the stable said even though they don't do lessons, we could come visit anytime.
