all the beauty

there is something that is so pure and humble about horses.


as adressed in previous posts, i have been riding since i was three- and i mean, riding. my mom thought it would be a good "bonding" experience for us so she popped me up on a horse (even though i pouted because i wanted a pony) and set me on my way. by four i was riding completely alone in a round pen trotting along side my mom, and  being "ponied" on trail rides.


we haven't been out riding as near as much as we'd like, but this will soon change. my mom recently bought a new horse so now we can finally ride together.


we've been spending a large amount of time out at sue's house, housesitting and taking care of their animals while they are away on all of their adventures... it is heaven. i get up, get the kids ready for the day and head outside. all of us, jude included, stroll into the pastures and sit and watch the beauty that is horses. i feel completely blessed!


of course i come completely biased since lilly, the white, is my own and i've raised her since she was born, but they are all simply gorgeous!

of course gunner, my buddy was here for this gorgeous evening
