When Grandpa wasn't looking we decided to give his horse a make over. Beautify him a little bit.
It took Grandpa a minute to catch it. The kids just giggled with Grandpa then posed for a picture with Grandpa's new invention.
Here is the group picture, yes the flower is still in if you look close. The lighting wasn't that good in Ryan's shop. But it was the only place for a picture. And Gracie wanted her flower back!!
Here is the boys helping out Grandpa. They thought that it was pretty fun to brush the horse.
Those 2 weren't the only ones that wanted to help. Payson found a brush then decided to try his hand at it. When we first got there he didn't want to have anything to do with the horses. Then decided they weren't so bad and he rode around with me for over an hour!!!
But first he had to make sure the horse's winter coat was all gone. There was hair everywhere. And I mean everywhere by time we got done.
Here is Payson helping Grandpa again with Skittles. This is the horse that the 3 oldest rode, yes even Preston. He thought he was big enough to "drive". Well about 3 seconds later Gracie was almost clothes lined by a hanging wire (not a live one). Grandpa ran to there rescue. Then Skittles decided to take a trot and she ran past me and Payson on Coyote. Gracie was holding on to Preston while Preston had dropped the raines and was holding on to the saddle horn. He was laughing and Gracie was screaming. This time Coyote and I ran to there rescue. It is a good thing that Skittles fast speed is mock 2 MPH. After that Gracie threw her hat in and called it enough for one day.
Payson still wanted to brush even after the saddle was off. He just couldn't get enough.
A cute picture of the kids having a fun day.
All in all it was loads of fun. A day the kids will remember!! And off they rode into the sun!!
