Horses

When we bought the farm years ago the first question was, "Do you have horses?". Now we do!

Josie was a three year old quarter horse when we bought her. John decided I needed lessons to be sure I could teach the grandkids how to handle her. This led to weeks of lessons for me and then for Josie along with me.

We were told Josie might be bred but we didn't have a clue until we found LuLu ...May 10th

LuLu/Blue Moon as a yearling. She has turned in a great looking filly by July 2007. 

Winter of 2008 we took in a rescue horse CHARLIE HORSE. He is good for the grand kids. Gentle and smooth ride.
