For those of you who aren’t aware, today is the National Day Of The Horse. And for those of you who know me, you know that it is definitely a day I recognize.
My love of horses came much later in life than most ‘girl’s’, so I needed to make up a lot of time.
For the past few years, my friend, Darcy, has allowed me come visit and ride pretend to ride her beautiful horses. Motor Man and I went there last Saturday and had our Christmas dress-up visit. This is ‘my teaching horse’, Val. He’s the most gentle, patient horse I’ve ever known (not that I’ve known many…).
Darcy and her husband made the wooden Christmas tree and snowman that were perfect for our photo op.
My Motor Man was such a good sport, dressed up in his Santa suit.
Darcy’s two Gypsy horses have been trained to sit on a huge beanbag. How cute is this; Messiah and me just chilling?
I ‘took a nap’, and Messiah joined me.
Then Chevelle tried to nudge me awake.
Darcy created this, using a photo app, and I just think it is so sweet. I seem to be part of a Christmas table-top scene.
Thanks to my Motor Man, Darcy and her husband, Ken, AND their horses for making this ‘little girl’s’ day so special.

A wonderful bunch of holiday photos and fun – I know how much you love horses and I think they love you back!

A fun-filled festive day for Christmas ! Looks like Messiah and Val were having just as much fun as y’all !
I love all your pictures. The horses are sooo pretty and well trained. How could you not enjoy your time there.
“Oh what fun it is to ride……………..” They have to be the best horses ever. Glad all had so much fun.
Very cool. Nobody has Christmas pics like that.
Saw your photos on FB. So fun and very cute!! I know you loved every minute of it.
