Horsing around

Annabelle was riding her wooden rocking horse Saturday morning when she sighed heavily and said “Maybe someday I’ll get to ride a real pony”.

This was the first time I had heard of her desire to ride a live horse. Truthfully when I was a child I was scared of them, so it never occurred to me to ask her if she was interested.

As it happened we had a day planned at our Amusement Park where they offer pony rides. We bought her ticket; she waited patiently in line and jumped up on that horse like an experienced equestrian. She was all smiles the whole time, riding like the Princess Diva that she is. As soon as it was over she immediately asked if she could go again.

Of course my sweetheart, of course.

Her brother however, not a fan.
