Giddy up Horsey....Whoa!

Earlier in the week I took the girls to The Bork Farm. These are dear friends of my dad and my family. They have a few horses, chickens, dogs and cattle. Presley has been so into horses learning so much about them, dying to ride them, and asking to take riding lessons. So we took her over to our friends house so she could help take care of the chickens and take a ride on the horses. When we got there she was in heaven!!! It was so cute to watch her and listen to her ask all sorts of questions. She is such a pistol and I love her so much. She had a lot of fun helping feed the baby chickens (which she named Dexter, Jemma and Parker) and was determined to get on the horse, which she did.....until she fell off! Luckily, she just slid off the saddle and got a little dirt in her mouth and didn't get hurt. Other than it scaring her a little she was fine! However, Peyton who saw the whole thing, will not get close to a horse! Presley was scared but gave the horse a hug and actually got back on the horse (without it moving, of course) I thought this might make her not want to ride anymore but she keeps asking every morning since if we can go back and ride that horse! We also found a horse shoe as a trophy for bravest little girl! She slept with it that night!!!


Here is Presley and the horse Cash
