Amazing Girls

My girls amaze me every day. The lastest... Bethany & Isabelle and their amazing ability with horses. Bethany has taken riding lessons for about two years, Isabelle since last spring. Grandpa seems to think my girls have an obsession for animals and continues to fund their WILD adventures :) Watching my 6 and 4 year-old girls ride HUGE horses makes my heart beat anxiously. I visualize broken bones & bucked bodies. The girls have proven otherwise. They ride proud and strong. The sassy genes they've inheritated are shown in the arena. Poor horses! Bethany was able to participate in a week long riding camp in July. You'd have thought she had won a zillion dollars, instead of a week of muckin' stalls, feeding horses, washing horses, harnessing horses, trotting horses, bridling horses (you get the picture, lots and lots of horses). The girls dream of living on a farm and having a family of animals. Good luck with that one and beware anyone who stops them (watch out Darren).

You are such a brave mom. They are so fun. The boys loved playing with all the girls at the Lake.

Oh, thank goodness those are western saddles strapped to the steeds. Had we witnessed your beautiful girls posting in an English saddle, it really wouldn't have been the same. Just Kidding. So proud mama, when are you going to purchase some equines of your own? You know you can still adopt the wild horses from the BLM......

Something that this Gramma would love to have done. But dreams come and if not financed, they go. Good for you Grandpa Jones for doing this for them.
