Each Tuesday, Kelsey gets to go out to Healing Reins and ride her designated horse, Peaches. She is such an amazing animal and you can see in her eyes how much she loves these kids! Well today, James came up with the idea to take a "gift" out to the ranch for Peaches - a small baggy of baby carrots. When we arrived at the ranch, Kelsey was so excited to take her gift to her horse. Turns out that Kelsey had to exercise some patience, because Peaches trainer said she cannot get a treat until she has worked. So off Kelsey and Peaches went for their 45 minute ride. When they were back to the stall, out came the carrots again. We went and got a bowl to dump the carrots into and Kelsey proudly walked with this big bowl in her little hands over to this massive animal and held the bowl up so Peaches could consume her snack. As Kelsey was walking over to her, Peaches lips were quivering and she was literally "licking her chops" with the anticipation of the snack that she knew was coming. I have never seen anything so sweet! Those horses at Healing Reins are a gift from above. They are the most wonderful, gentle animals!
(Speaking of wonderful animals...I had to add this picture that I took this evening of Mike and Leo - we are all so in love with him! Leo loves furniture - especially the living room couch - but that's okay with us!)
