Cowboys and Cowgirls

The kids were thrilled when our neighbors asked them if they would like to ride a horse. They have never gotten to ride one before and I wondered if they would be a little scared once they saw up close how big the horse was. But our neighbor did a really good job of first acclimating the horse to the kids and vice versa. The horse is a four-year-old paint named "Sky" because of her rare blue eyes. The kids did so great and had a wonderful time. In fact, they didn't want to leave. But our neighbors assured them they could come ride anytime (and they do live right across the street with the horse behind their house in a pasture!)
