Adventures of the Wild West

So today was in the upper 60s which in my family translates into let's be outside as much as humanly possible.

Yes we actually have a couple horses now that are ridable.

Well, we'll have to organize, but yes, you're welcome to come over. We just need to plan on a weekend my family will be home and we'll have time to clean. Our house is in random states of chaos as we're never home, but I'm sure something can be worked out.

Horses....wait, you have horses?!!!?! D: LUCKY!!!

[sadriethiel]

We presently have 8 horses, 2 ponies, and a donkey. 2 horses are new, but fairly gentle and can be ridden by the general public. 1 horse is old and can still be ridden, but wouldn't recommend her to someone new. 1 pony is bad tempered and shouldn't be ridden by anyone new to horses, the other needs his feet trimmed, but a good pony otherwise. Donkey = lawn ornament. The other 5 horses are harness racing horses and aren't trained to be ridden. The pull carts known as sulkies.

i need pics of the latest additions to the family- what kind of horse did you get- and why are there two? i thought you were getting one...

One horse for me. One for J.D. One pony for Alana. Apparently I'm convincing our family to get back into horse riding.
