In fact, her frequent response to our question about what she wants to do when she grows up is to live at our Amish neighbor's farm and be a "horse girl".
Last week I saw an ad in the local merchandizer announcing a free family event at a nearby church on Saturday: dinner, face painting, games, wagon rides, a juggling act/entertainment and (drumroll, please) PONY RIDES!!! I knew Natalia would be thrilled, but also that I'd be cooking up alot of applesauce that day and would want a break from the kitchen come dinnertime. So, we put it on the calendar.
Natalia was beyond excited to finally ride a horse, but it was forecasted to be a rainy day. I was so hoping that it wouldn't get cancelled. Thankfully, aside from the humidity and fog in the morning it turned out to be a great day weather-wise for the event!
Giddy with anticipation. (She insisted on wearing her "horsey" shirt in honor of the occasion.)
I think it's safe to say that she's even more infatuated with horses now that she's ridden one!

Aw, that's so cute. I went through a horse drawing stage, where all I drew was horses. What is it with girls and horses? I think a lot of girls go through the "in love with horses" stage.
