goin' to see a man about a horse


whenever my gran'dad wanted to do something as a surprise and his girls got too curious and started asking questions, he always teased them and told them he was "goin' to see a man about a horse." and that was the answer i always got growing up when i started getting too nosey. of course, it was never a horse...

but yesterday, B and her dad DID go see a man about a horse! a 14 hands, red dun quarter horse. and it looks like we will have an addition to our little farm in a few weeks after mark can secure the fences and B can think of a fitting name. she is flying high! with special thanks to her grandpa for making it happen!

I am thrilled for you B! I, too, can hardly wait to meet your beautiful new friend. Can I pet her and bring my little horse lover too?

i wish i had more pictures than this cellphone shot! but we will have to wait a few weeks to bring him home. he is a 5 year old gelding who is very gentle and responsive to his rider. he has been riden western on trails. B is still thinking over names for him. stay tuned for more horsey fun... we are still in the market for a second good trail horse and mark is planning on forging some trails through our woods this spring. :o)

Hi Stacy! I have been enjoying looking at and reading your blog. The blog about your parents getting back together was beautiful. God is so good and so faithful. I am so happy for all of you. I look forward to reading more about your life.
