Cowgirl

With the nice weather rolling in, I have been letting our Brown Eyed Girl help me with feeding the horses in the evenings when we get home. Being around the horses every afternoon, she has been begging me to ride. I promised her we would ride the horses this week. She was in heaven.

I had her grab a halter and we headed out to catch PC.

As we slipped though the fence, I said, "Come on cowgirl."

"Cowgirl? What's a cowgirl mommy?" She asked innocently. 

"Honey a cowgirl is a girl who loves and rides horses."

And that was that. 

We fed the horses, found PC and I boosted her up.

Her expression is always the same each time you place her on the back of a horse. 

Or donkey...

Bliss.

  

I really don't dress her like this normally. She did have matching shorts on before we went out to ride. I do have to admit, she had her famous dancing shoes on though. 

Remember, we pick our battles.

She is so relaxed and confident up there, centered on PC.

A budding horseman, rewarding her mare for not having a care in the world as long as she can eat everything in her path because she is a piglet  standing so well.

Daddy brought Mr Blue Eyes out to say hello and without any prompting or hesitation our Brown Eyed Girl said, "Daddy! I'm a Cowgirl!"

My heart skipped a beat.

Music to my ears.

The seed has been carefully planted her entire life. 

And I am in love!
