HORSES at the Haglunds!

My darling friend Lori Haglund invited us over to meet the horses as both Lamiaa and Seema LOVE horses but can't ride in their countries.  We headed over with great anticipation to meet the horses, brush them, feed them and give them some love. 

Lamiaa at first was freaked out by their very active new puppy Watson and not sure if the horses were more interested in her fingers or the apples.  It took some time, but eventually both girls were experts at feeding them.

Watson would really like some of what the horses are getting.

One silly monkey, one horse

You can't really tell, but Lamiaa has a treat in her hand and getting her courage up to get a little closer.

Perfect - you have to kind have to shove the apples into their mouth keeping your hand flat so they don't find your fingers!!!

Even though this isn't the greatest picture - I love everyones faces.  The joy and fun on the girls and the patience on the horses.

More apples.

And then they brushed them...

Seema and Taffy, Sandy,  okay, I can't remember.  Seema says Sandy - does seem quite correct.   I will find out so our blog doesn't have ANY inaccuracies.  HA

Amazing - the love of a girl and gentle, sweet horse.

They did try to ride Layla - but Lamiaa didn't quite get on and fell to the ground and Seema almost was almost on when Layla decided she didn't want to go for a ride that day and started to run and BOOM - off came Seema right to the ground.  The ending to that was that neither girls were hurt and they want to try again when Layla or Cactus is up to ride.

Oh so close - and I was waiting to get the picture where she is on the horse... that didn't happen.

But we had a great time... thanks Haglunds!!! We will be back!!
