a real COWGIRL!









My little Elli loves horses and loves to go on rides with Grandpa Dave! So after a lot of tears and rearranging schedules we finally made it out to Grandpa's house! So, they get them all saddled up and they were on their way as they were walking around the field for the first time they were watching and talking about the cute ducks they saw over in the retention pond, I guess the horses forgot to listen cause they ducks decided to fly away and scare the heck out of the horses! So Grandpa's legs go up and he almost goes off and Elli's horse shyed, she fell off and her horse took off running! Madi is yelling "mom Elli just fell off her horse" So I go running out into the field and she was all muddy and a little shaky and just a few tears, but she did what a real cowgirl would do.....She got right back on the horse. It took a while for the smile to come back upon her face but she rode for over an hour. It is fun to see her and my dad having a great time together and both are thoroughly happy!
