Princess on A Pony!


This weekend my family were guests of friends of ours at their horse farm in New Jersey. We had a wonderful time, but the biggest surprise of all was my baby daughter's blossoming horse obsession. I expected that, at best, she would be shy and, at worst, totally petrified. Boy was I wrong! She loved it! She followed the miniature horses around their field making sure she petted every one and she had several rides. Towards the end of the evening when her siblings were riding and she was waiting, she kept yelling to them to "Get off HER horse". I guess I should not be surprised, my wife spent a good part of her child hood riding and my eldest daughter has always loved horses as well. Almost as impressive as the baby's comfort with the horses, was that of all of my boys, who without hesitation saddled up, climbed on and went for a ride. Kyle, my eldest, who has alreay flown planes, wanted to ride by himself after just a few minutes in the saddle. It was a great weekend and I am very thankful to our friends for the opportunity and the hospitality.
