a pony for our pasture

we had an exciting fourth of july weekend! we picked up a pretty little pony for B! it is really only on loan from a friend's farm, but it is the perfect pony for B to learn with. if we do get her her own one day, she'll know just what it takes to care for it.

meet princess lolly! i am told she was named after a character in the game candyland. she is a welsh pony and is very friendly and gentle! B is in love!

fitting lolly to her saddle and her new rider





mark is almost as excited as B... i think, deep down inside, he is really a cowboy! i love how this has become a father/daughter project! mark has really been involved with her, researching horses and learning about their care and training. it truly warms this mother's heart to watch them.

I am convinced that I was really supposed to be B in this lifetime!! LOL What a blessed little girl - not just to have a pony (although that was always my wildest dream) but to have a daddy that loves her so much!
