A Dream Come True

It was a very long wait, but we are happy to introduce our new equine partner, Shorty.

Thanks to Gramma Betty and her horse-finding connections, we landed upon a guy that promises to be a very important figure in our daughters' lives. He is a good ol' boy, mostly all used up. ;) He's a full-size horse, but he's on the smaller side. BTDT (been there, done that -- it's a technical term for horse people, don't ya know)




Aleaha and Shorty, on her test ride.




She had picked out a new halter and lead rope for him. She was really ready!


Feeding him carrots from the barn.





This was her asleep in the pickup on the way home. She wanted to put the horse blanket across her lap. Yeah, she's just a little bit country.




We haven't had much opportunity to take him out for some walks. But that will happen. And we're sure to put up lots of posts about this new guy.




Thank you, Gramma Betty!!!
