Addison hadn't lost any love for the horses, since we moved away from Texas. We pulled into Pappy's drive-way Monday evening and she was headed to the barn, as soon as she could talk my dad into taking her. He woke up a few hours after us Tuesday morning and came down the hall wearing jeans. Her morning greeting to him was, " You can put your shirt on and we can go see the horses!".We played in the barns and pastures every morning, while Miss Debra worked and Pappy tried to get a little sleep (he works nights). They have the friendliest horses I have ever been around. The yearlings are loose in the front pasture and they would follow us all over the place. The girls run right up to them and they just stand their waiting to be petted. The stallion Hank, was confined to his stall this trip, because he has been sick. He loved his morning visits from the girls and I know he will be sad this week. Each day as soon as he heard us outside, he began pacing in his stall and neighing loudly until they came to say hello.
Addison's favorite horse is Kris. She feed her carrots everyday. Kris is in the large back pasture, but would come as soon as she saw us heading out with her snack. Saturday we had time for her to ride Kris. Dad let her lead her in from the pasture by herself, then she brushed her and got her ready for Miss Debra to put the saddle on. She had the best time riding. She really loves it!
We are so thankful for the adventures with horses we get to have out there. Hopefully in the next few years, we will be in the right place at the right time for her to get to ride in the World Show!
