A New Friend

Yesterday we went with friends to a horse barn to meet Miss Carmie's horse. He is a Clydesdale named Adam. It was love at first sight......


Chloe helped brush and dress him for riding and got to ride him while holding tight to Carmie. Her first horse ride!! We spent a couple hours watching and riding, and then Chloe helped lead him out to undress him and give him some apples chunks.

Some other older girls who were there riding their horses allowed Chloe to ride with them also so she got quite a treat. We took a bunch of pictures but nearly every one was too blurry to keep.

After an afternoon full of horse care, Carmie asked Chloe, "How much do you like horses?" The answer burst forth from Chloe's sweet little heart, "I L-O-V-E THEM!" Carmie got tears in her eyes as she whispered, "That's exactly what I hoped you would say sweetheart. I love them too."

What a dream day for Chloe! Sounds like Carmie had a special day, too :) It is so wonderful when you find something a little one truly loves and can help them experience it. For a 4 year old to do anything for hours, they must l-o-v-e it!
