Another member is added to the family!

Okay, I know what you're thinking, and no, it's not a baby(; BUT, we're boarding a horse for a friend, and we all absolutely adore her!

Paul was happy to see the big horse too(:

Ali with her 2 horses. Dozen on the L. and Athena on the R. She's in love, and rides them both daily.

Athena refuses to go anywhere without Dozen, but hopefully she'll adjust to leaving her new friends every now and then(;

A day on the horse

Ali LOVES horses. :) I went to her horseback lesson and took some fun pictures! It had rained the day before, so I didn't get any of her jumping the big nice jumps, but she did jump a small one. Maybe sometime soon I will get some of her jumping the other ones. She is an amazing horse back rider, and even jumped one of the jumps without hands!! Needless to say, she absolutely LOVES horseback riding, and even enjoyes cleaning stalls twice a week to help pay for the lessons!

Ali and her horse back riding

Ali has been working hard at horse back riding! She really enjoys it. It seems like every day she is either mucking out stalls, (to earn money for horse back riding lessons) or she is riding horses. She took first place in every event in one of her shows! She looks forward to any time with horses, and likes Brett to come along too! He gets to play in the hay during her lesson and then she lets him ride bare back to the pen. He really enjoys that!
