She loves me!

ez-pictures-090

Last night Pixie expressed her love for me as best she knows how.   Paulette led her and Justice into the indoor arena for some play time.  I had heard from both Ted and Paulett that they usually go crazy bucking and kicking and running around.  I was excited to watch.  But to Paulette’s chagrin, they were pretty mild.  In fact Pixie kept one eye on me as she pranced around and would occasionally stopped at the gate for a rub.  Paulette said, “She knows her mom is here watching!  She wants to look good!”  It was really cute.   Pixie hung by the gate, watching me, sniffing me and sticking her nose out for a pet every once and a while.  At one point Justice made her way towards the gate and Pixie took off swooshing her head and tail and running back and forth in front of the gate until Justice backed off.  Paulette said Pixie was saying, “Bonniejean is mine and don’t you try to take her from me!”  She told me if I don’t think I’m bonding with my horse, I am.  She knows me and she loves me!  It was wonderful!

Family Day at the Farm!

For my birthday, my entire family came out to visit Pixie at Harmony Horsemanship.  It was very special!  Made even more special by my dad, who has had a fear of horses his whole life.  But for his little girl, he conquered his fear and came right in to the arena with the rest of us to watch me work with Pixie.  He even got right up next to her, that’s him in the first two pictures.  What a guy!

Also, take a look at Pixie’s beautiful new pink halter.  Doesn’t it look great on her?  A surprise birthday gift from two of my favorite people.

I’m so blessed to be surrounded by wonderful family, friends and horses.  What a lucky girl I am!
