well we started the adventure of "4H" this year! well, not "real" 4H, but mini-4H, or "cloverbuds". the kids are allowed to choose 1 project, and as you can tell by the pics, horses were olivia's 1st choice! not sure we have a future in showing horses, but in this particular horse project, the kids didn't have to own a horse. they pair you up w/ another family who kinda "mentors" you. basically they let the kids borrow the horse for free and help teach a few little things. we had the Stone family and they were always willing let olivia have fun on "becky" the horse. olivia says she loves horses MORE than her sheep! oh yeah....as i'm sure most of you know, olivia got her very own sheep to show this year. i'll post more about that later. anyway, i doubt we will be pursuing a 4H horse, but just letting her ride a horse 1 x week for about a month straight, plus "show" a horse, was worth just seeing the joy it brought to olivia's face! life couldn't have gotten any better! unless we bought her own of course! ha! the girl w/ olivia is one of her good friends devan draper! you've seen her before on my blog; she showed in the horse and pony show also; and she too has found a new love in her life!!!!!! she is getting the privilege of taking horse riding lessons! she does a wonderful job, and she is definitely an animal lover!!!
her beautiful bun and butterfly was compliments of aunt pam and cousin jenny!!! they graciously came over and did her hair for the horse show! jenny and pam know just TINY bit about showing horses!!!! lol they both were very very good showman and won many many awards and trophies throughout the years!! thank you pam and jenny!!!
