First horse rides


One of Sandi's co-workers has a 3-acre mini-farm with miniature horses and chickens. She invited everyone for a potluck and promised all the kids rides on the horses. We jumped at this opportunity.

It was a beautiful November Saturday.  The drive down to Corvallis was amazing.  The food was plentiful and delicious.  Best of all, both Amber and Taryn had fun with the horses.  Each petted the friendliest horse and Amber gave her a carrot.  (Sandi and I was sure Amber would shy away from an animal 10x her size, but she was pretty taken with them.)

The saddles are special kids saddles - these miniature horses can only carry 75 pounds.


Taryn even got a turn. 

Amber also got to ride in a carriage!

It was a pretty special day for us.  We drove home the back way enjoying the spectacular fall colors and the girls' car naps.
