New Year's Day

This is how we spent our New Year's Day. First day of 2014 and Daisy got to use her saddle for the first time. To say she loved it was an understatement. G-Ma and Roy came out to ride with us. G-Ma has a broken foot but she didn't let that stop her. In spite of all our reminders, Daisy really wanted to let go of the saddle and twist around at every opportunity. My little dare devil she is.




Her little legs don't reach the stirrups, even as high as possible so we pulled out an old trail guide trick and used the inner part of the stirrups to create stirrups.

Daisy is on Yuma, a third generation horse. He was my mom's then he became mine when I was a kid and now he's Daisy's. He probably won't be around for too much longer but he is around just long enough to give her a good positive start.


 Apparently, Rocky is a very gentle horse when it comes to feeding This is good for our two-year old. She didn't much like the slimy lips though. Hopefully when she's older, Rocky will be Daisy's horse.

This picture makes me think she's going to fly off the bales in a karate type move.

Little feet, little boots, little girl. Way more than I ever dreamed.
