Horses Rule!

That pretty much sums up our long weekend along with a lot of eating at the Ribfest… our friends had connection and got us into the VIP section and we had all you could eat ribs and ice cream and drink! We left very full and very happy!

 
And as we walked out of the Ribfest we saw some police horses which started us on our horse weekend.
Saturday we took a drive up to the Wild Horse area and got to just look at all the horses thru the fence since we missed it being open by 30 minutes. But the girls still loved seeing all the horses!

The momma’s and babies were so cute!
Then Sunday morning we get a text from the neighbor saying they were going to take their little girl to go ride a pony up in Truckee and asked if we wanted to go. And since she has been begging to ride a horse for weeks we jumped on it!  
At first she didn’t want to put on the helmet but once she saw Madeline get on her pony she hurried and put hers on!  She loved every second of it! I got to just lead her around a on a trail and she just talked non stop about how much she loved her horse “Taffy.”  The smile on her face was the best.

And this was the sad face that we got when we took her off of the horse….

She kept telling me that she missed Taffy! It was so sad and cute! Then she refused to take off the helmet because she thought we were going to take her back! 
It was so worth the money to listen to her go on and on about how she loved her horse! She was in her heaven and I am so glad they invited us along!
