Horse Heaven

Our vacation at Bear Gulch included a special treat for Bethany. She was able to care for and ride the two horses Grandpa left there for our vacation time. She taught Micaiah the basics of riding. She got to ride herself whenever she wished. She practiced her skills of caring for and saddling the horses. Mom helped round them up at night, with alot of frustration and not much success .. so Dad came to the rescue with the quad and got those silly horses into the coral for night time.
She was so thrilled with this chance to have horses in her life. Josiah checked if they had enough water several times a day. There was an on going conversation about what you could feed a horse. Micaiah tried to feed them strawberries but... I think they weren't very interested, though they did eat the corn husks.
Thanks Grandpa.

So nice for Bethany. I hope she can have her own ranch someday. We will have to pray for a cowboy to come into the future.LOL
