Good Monday morning! I hope you are having an awesome start to your week. While we were on vacation, My fantastic mother in law arranged for some of the family to go horse back riding. I didn’t go, I was involved in a project with my father in law. Mike thought that Pierre would like to tag along and ride too.
Checking it out from a safe distance
“Please lift me up so I can see,” asked Pierre. He had never been around horses before and was a little bit nervous. (This is my beautiful mother in law, Charlotte.)
Going to meet the horses
Pretty soon Pierre was ready for a closer look. Mike(my awesome husband) gave Pierre a hand in getting closer.
Getting comfortable
They found a nice post for Pierre to hang out on while he was getting used to being so close to the horses. “They are so big!” exclaimed Pierre.
About ready for the next step
It wasn’t too long before Pierre was ready to get even closer.
Startled
Pierre climbed up on the fence close to the horses. This horse neighed at Pierre to greet him. He was so startled he almost fell off the fence. Heather(my daughter in law) explained to Pierre that the horse was just saying hello.
Making friends
“I can’t believe how soft their noses are,” whispered Pierre as he stroked the horse and fed her a bit of apple.
Pierre’s adventure with the horses will continue in my next blog post. If you would like to see more of my art work, you can do so at my web site Woodland Whimsy or my facebook page.
The photos in this post were taken by my husband, Mike and my son, Kyle.
