Horses & Thanksgiving Thursday

"Passions and dreams make the journey exciting. They are the spark that keeps us going when we might otherwise not have the energy." Mama Hen

Little Chick's love for horses and riding is something that can't be missed. She trots all over the house, in the yard and in the aisles at the store. She wants to read horse books, watch horse movies and learn about all there is to know about this beautiful animal. She beams when she knows she has her riding lesson. She loves bringing all of her horse friends carrots and makes sure she visits all of them before we leave. Today she rode her favorite Snickers and enjoyed giving her and Memphis lots of carrots. I am not sure what the name of the horse is that she is hugging, but as you can see there is lots of love there. I am thankful my daughter has such a love for animals and a passion for riding. It is a flame that burns within and lights the way. Have a happy Thanksgiving Thursday.

Thanksgiving Thursday: 1.) Little Chick and my family. 2.) Being able to nurture Little Chick's love for horses and all animals. 3.) For classical music. I get such joy out of hearing my favorite composers and sharing this love for music with my daughter. 4.) Rainy days and holidays. I love spending time reading books at the book store with Little Chick. 5.) Having a camera and being able to capture all the wonderful moments we share.

Making Dreams Come True

"To make dreams come true one has to work at it." ~Mama Hen

Little Chick had her third horseback riding class today and I was as proud as could be with my little rider! She spent the entire class riding without her instructor holding on to the horse. She was learning how to steer with the reins and did a fabulous job! She was so excited to brush her horse, Snickers and to visit all the other horses after her class. I am so proud of my little four year old. She loves riding and is working on making her dreams come true.

To Love Whole Heartedly

"To love something whole heartedly is to allow your spirit to be filled with happiness." ~Mama Hen

Little Chick starts her day playing with her horses. She loves to play with them the minute she gets home from school as well. On Friday she earned the horse with the purple saddle which she named Snickers. Today she made sure her little friends were cozy in bed before she headed on up to get ready to go to sleep. Before falling asleep Little Chick said, "Mommy, I am going to dream about horses." It was a magnificent day with my beautiful daughter!
