Horses! What?

Ok, I might be crazy! Can you believe I got myself a horse? All my life I've wanted one and never had either the space, the time or the money. So Freddie and I decided if we don't just do it we never will. So we did! I love her, she's great! Her name is Lily and she's a real treat. She's an 11 year old walkaloosa. Thats a cross between a Tennessee Walking Horse and an Appaloosa. We've had her a week now and I just love it. I love looking out the window and seeing her there. I love going out to the pasture. As soon as I open the front door she calls to me! She usually meets me at the gate. I love to pet and groom her but I especially love to ride her! I'm still a little scared of her......and she knows it! Not scared really, just nervous that I'm not "doing it" right. So, she acts up a little. Not much but she throws her head around and objects to doing what she's told. Sounds like the kids! And speaking of the kids, she loves them! I love it when they walk towards her and she sticks her head out over the fence for them to reach her. I especially love it when one of them runs along the fence and she runs with them. So funny! I'm getting some help with my horsemanship so hopefully I'll be an old pro before I know it.
