Hannah is HORSE CRAZY. She is at that age when everything revolves around horses (I remember it well). She is constantly talking about horses. Here is a typical conversation that happens on an almost daily basis...
Hannah - 'Can I have a horse?'
Mom - 'Sure, when you live on your own, you can have as many horses as you want'
Hannah - 'Why can't I have a horse now.'
Mom - 'Because they are very expensive, take a lot of time and space. Plus, I am allergic to horses.'
Hannah - 'But we have a big yard and I'd take really good care of it.'
Mom - 'I know you would take really good care of a horse. Our yard is kind of big - but not big enough for horses. Where would your horse sleep?'
You get the idea.
In order to satisfy some of her horse craziness, she was given cowboy boots last Christmas. And for her birthday in April, we gave her horse riding lessons - which she started this summer. She loves learning all about taking care of and riding horses. She has spent time on Big Mama and Comet (seen below). She is really looking forward to visiting Grandma Johnson's in July where her, Paige and Natalie will have Horse Camp with Amy Schiess.
We will most likely never have horses of our own. But she is enjoying the time she gets with them now and who knows, maybe someday she will have her own horse.
