So, what's my horse, Blue, been doing?

He gave granddaughter Lyndsay several rides this week.


We made thirty people stop celebrating the Fourth for twenty or thirty minutes so he could give Mercedes a ride.

The day after the Fourth, he gave Erin (age 12) a ride.


She handled him so well in the round pen that I let her ride him in the small pasture.

Then he gave Erin's older sister, Heather (age 14... almost), her first horseback ride.


Finally, ten-year-old Mikey had HIS first ride.

Heather, Erin, and Mikey are Cliff's sister's grandchildren.

I love my horse.

So, I was riding my horse past the daycare in town...

Since I could only get an arms length from Blue (I was holding the reins), you can't really see how many kids were there; there were at least twenty-five. Blue was a little overwhelmed at first: he's never had so many kids reaching toward him at one time!
