Another Escape

Behind our barn is a narrow path with a gate at each end.  If you go out one of the gates you end up by the A frame. If you go out the other gate you end up in the horses pin. The gate that leads to the horse pin was broken.(we were not aware of it) My horse pushed thhe gate open and walked down to the other end. Keep in mind that that area is VERY narrow. The gate by the A frame was closed. (that was a very good thing) We ran into the pin and got some hay to try to get her to back out. She tried turning around but their wasn't enough room. After 10 minutes she finally backed out. She did not get that their is not enough room to turn around. Afterwards my mom put a stick in the gate to hold it.
My phone is not letting me take the pictures off my phone so I will have my dad check it out. I will post pictures of my horse ASAP. (all the horse pictures are on my phone)

The Great Escape

This morning I woke up to my dogs barking their heads off only to find that my horse had escaped. My brother, sister, and mom all said your horse got out and it is going all over the yard. Then my mom said it was her fault because she did not shut the gate correctly. On our gate you have to lift up and jiggle the gate to get it totally locked. We all went outside in our pjs and got my horse to walk over. Then we got some food to make it come into her area of the yard. After that our dogs were fine and the horse was back where it was supposed to be. Now only I shut the gate and i always double check myself.

Buttercup

I got a horse for Christmas!!!!! My mom and dad had a long talk and decided they would try it out!  The reason it was such a surprise is because my dad told me that their was no chance of me getting a horse. I choose the name Buttercup. The horse is a buckskin. It is tan with a black/brown main and tail.
The horse is 2  and is trained. I absolutley LOVE my horse!!!!

Swimming With Cousins







Again I am a little late posting this. We went to our great grandmothers and we went swimming at the retirement home pool. We all had a blast! It was my brother, my sister, my cousin barret, my cousin brody and me. I know it is winter but their pool is heated and the weatherwas decent. They have a big cloth dome thing that covers the area that people sit and swim. The pool has heaters and I think there is a heater for the peolpe sitting too. It was warm, deep and shallow, and big. Here are some pictures that my sweet great aunt , Joan, took.

Thanksgiving

I am a little or actually a lot behind on posting about Thanksgiving. We went to our Grandmas on our moms and dads side then down to Gunter. Sadley my cousin Bella could not be down here with us to celebrate Thanksgiving.
