A Real Mini-van!

Our 2 boy ponies have been given a
very generous home with some
horse-lovers in the area :)

Today was D-Day!
They both rode in the van...
and gave new meaning to the
term "Mini Van" :D

At the moment Annick, Evvie, and Catrina
are at the new place putting up fencing
and a shed and imparting all the necessary
info that comes with miniature horses :)

Girls Day 2

Yesterday we had the Thompson girls over for riding
and a movie night. It was a beautiful day to spend with friends!

Looks like they were having fun!

Girls' Day 1

The Heyworth girls came over last week
for a day of riding, and a movie night!

Everyone had a chance to ride and/or drive the cart,
and we had a fabulous time in the evening :)

Barrel Racing

Of ponies and carts...

Hmm...can we get you a smaller pony, perhaps?

Susanna had fun driving Patriot's Triumph by herself :)

Then it was Alaythia and Hannah's turn

Hey, the smaller they are,
the easier they are to get off!

Riding Time...

Charissa was excited about riding a big horse...

...just look at that radient (cute!) face!
She held the reins like a pro, learned to say
"walk on", and didn't want to get off :0)

Stephen, Charissa, Andrew, and Matthais

Alaythia and Susanna also had rides.
They're quite the cowgirls!

Horse Pictures

Annick and Evvie wanted some nice
photos of the horses, so after giving them
all baths, and some grooming, the horses
were ready to strut their stuff!

Evvie and Shahaar

Annick and Liberty Belle
(the "heigh-ho, Silver!" pose)

The horse family
(minus the pony stallion, since he wouldn't behave around the mares)

Ember, Ari, and Shahaar

Miss Liberty Belle was the favorite :)

The kids had a blast dressing the ponies in ribbons,
braids and flowers!

Faith and Annick went on a long trail ride.

Visiting with the Iobst family

The Iobsts are missionaries with
Campus Crusade for Christ International
in Spain. The whole family came over
for an afternoon last week,
and the kids loved the ponies :)

The horses were very well-supplied
with lots of grassy snacks :)
