Girls and their horses



Mary Elizabeth has quite the stable of horses. She received this pony as a baby gift from our friend Jennifer. Just recently M.E. has decided she wants to ride it. She can climb on by herself, but he is really tall so she needs help getting situated once she is on. Climbing off is no problem. It is too cute to watch her wrap her legs around his belly and rock. She also still rides her Radio Flyer horse. She can make him bounce like you wouldn't believe! I included the photo of me and Doodle because I am so proud that we are finally making progress. Doodle's education has been spotty at best, but this summer she has really come along. It helps when I ride consistently! For those of you who knew her mom Junebug can you believe I ride Doodle with a whip and spurs?! Convincing Doodle to go forward can be a challenge!

Interesting to note that your interest in horses began when you were the same age as your girl is now!

M.E. is just too adorable.
Doodlebug is looking nice! That is a funny comparasion of him to Junebug. She was definitely one to get up and go! He should be a great horse for M.E. when she is ready to ride. :)
I am really enjoying your blog!
