Huntington Beach, Day 5, part 1---- Horses!


Above is one of Britt's (three!) horses----He's the offspring of a wild mustang...
...and it shows (he's feisty)!
But beautiful.



The two horses the girls and Jack rode were the opposite of feisty...perfect for their first ride.

Safety never takes a holiday.













Last year Sophie brought her horse to college with her...
...how cool is that?


I don't think they knew that shoveling poop was part of the bargain for the day....



Some of my most cherished memories growing up were riding horses with Britt all over the (now gone) fields of Huntington Beach when we were kids.  Over the years I have spoken to the girls about just how crazy-cool-awesome that time of life was--- and I am soooo happy they finally got to meet Britt and experience just a tiny bit of what my life was like when I was close to their age.
