Peep, Dot, & Bo

The week before Thanksgiving Nate's oldest brother Bryan 
and his wife Jenna invited us over to come see their horses
and have dinner at their house.

The have one regular size horse (Bo), 
one pony (Dot), 
and one miniature horse (Peep).

Feeding Dot...

Not so sure about this whole horse-riding idea...
...it was a just a little too scary.

We think Brenna makes a pretty cute cowgirl! 

Mabel and I watched them ride around 
and I think it made her want to try again. 

She started out by helping Uncle Dave walk Peep around.

Then with a little coaxing, she tried
sitting on Peep. 

She realized Peep wasn't so 
scary afterall!
"He's a little nice horse!"

Then there was no stopping her!
She wanted to ride Dot next and rode her all around 
the arena even without me walking next to her.

Morgan takes after her mama and is so great 
with the horses and kids.

Littlest cowgirl needed a snack and a kiss from daddy.
We were so proud of her for trying to ride
again even though it really scared her at first.


Mabel even got really brave and rode on 
Bo with Uncle Dave!

And finally, jumping over horse poop.
I think she liked this activity even
better than riding the horses.

Thanks Bryan and Jenna (and the kids),
we had a great time!
