Our friends the Kelly's have horses so they invited us over for dinner and to let us ride them. They were perfect riding horses for young kids because they are really old horses, like 20+ years so they like to go slow. Perfect for a fat, pregnant lady...you should have seen me try to get up on her with a belly in the way!
Billy and Koye got to ride the more "spunky" horse. You really have to control her and not let her control you. Koye was nervous about getting on her at first but after this he loved it and went a couple more times.
He got brave enough to ride by himself and let Billy walk the horse.
This little girl would not get off the horse. She wanted to keep riding and riding. She went with me at first and then did it all by herself with no one walking her. It's such a gentle horse. We showed her how to turn her left and right and how to stop her. She even had her trotting a little bit. She rode her about 30 minutes just around the field and now wants a horse to put in her backyard.
Crew on the other hand did not enjoy the whole horse experience. He was alright if she just sat still but the minute she started to move he would freak out. He liked the two cows a lot more! He loved feeding the cows apples and I think it was the whole "an apple for you.....a bite for me", thing. We caught him eating these almost rotten apples and was loving every minute of it. He then found some dirt clods and would throw them at the cows and say "paple". Thanks to the Kelly's for having us over and letting us enjoy the horses. The kids loved it.

How fun! That is so cool that they had you over to ride. You should look into getting a pony for Madi, I think it would fit in your backyard better!
What is a pregnant lady doing on a horse? Looks like you had a good time. Move back to Arizona and I will get you a horse. ( ;
Papa
Looks like fun! You are hardly a fat pregnant lady! Hope you are feeling well!
I keep looking for a belly and I have yet to see one. You look good. It looks like so much fun up there. If you see val tell her thank you for her text....I don't know if she got mine....she said email but i don't have her email. I will keep watching for you to show off your belly!!
