Ride of her life!!!

This is Bailie and Dallas on Star about a month ago. Bad mom didn't have her camera yesterday. Should have had my video camera!

So yesterday Josh and Jenn brought her horse Star out to our place. You should see my kids climbing all over and loving this horse. It is pretty awesome. And they are bound and determined to wear there dad down until he agrees to get them a horse or two. So they all got their turns and even baby Lakin, who I was watching, got a ride. (I am a terrible aunt and did not have my camera out there.) So Bailie gets on for her 5th or 10th ride and Josh says to her, "Bailie trot." I see the look in her eyes, she wants to go! So without any fear she says, "O.K." and gives Star a kick. Too hard of a kick because off Star goes at a very fast gallop dare I say she was running? All I hear from Bailie is, "MOMMY!" Now I am going to be honest, when I heard that I was a little scared and I felt a bit helpless because I couldn't run to help her. I just kept yelling at her to pull back! And the three of us watched her race away. The darn kid stayed on that horse. By golly I was so proud of her. She got a long ways away and I saw Star slow to a trot and then walk. Once she stopped Bailie got off and started walking her back. Well Josh was headed towards her and I yelled at him to make sure she got back on that horse and rode her back. So sure enough back they come her on Star, and she is smiling with this big old smile and she tell me, "mom the knot came undone." We had forgotten she was just riding with the halter and not the bridle and the knot on the halter came undone. No wonder Star wouldn't stop. Well needless to say she still wants a horse and I think I have a pretty brave girl on my hands. Today she is walking like she rode for hours. She tell me she is sore. But I am sure she would ride again today if Star was here. Thanks Josh and Jenn for thinking of my kids.
