Cowboys and Cowgirls

My dad had horses for us to ride for about as long as I can remember.  It was one of my most favorite things to do.  I LOVE horses.  Love, love, love them.  They are such beautiful, intelligent animals. As a little girl I used to dream about one day owning a horse ranch.  Funny, right?

Well, obviously, living in a tiny house, on a tiny lot, in the middle of a subdivision, I can’t exactly have horses around like I would love to do.  BUT – my brother does.  And he was nice enough to let us come over and let the kids have a short ride.

Even I hopped up there bare feet and all (because that’s how a country girl does it).

Hopefully my brother will let us come over again soon and enjoy his beautiful horses!

I just love you and your bare feet! I loved riding horses when I was younger, too. But no one had any, we paid. Can I join your family?

I LOVE horses, too! For as long as I can remember I've always loved them and rode whenever I could get the chance. I was a happy little girl when we moved out to the 'burg and my parents got me a pony for my 9th birthday. Awesome! And when I outgrew the pony my neighbors always had horses they let me ride. I found out later that I'm allergic to animal dander (including horses) after riding bareback in shorts one summer and getting hives ALL OVER my legs. : (
