A Birthday Gift!


Hello Sweet Ladies, Hope your weekend was a blessing.

For the last few months Taylor (on the left) has been training Tressa's (on the right) horse Kiowa for her as a gift for Tressa's birthday. Saturday our family went out to the corral. This is what happened.
Tressa was told to love on her horse like she always does.
Then she was told to please sit..........and watch!

Taylor started to do ground work with Kiowa and give commands. Kiowa did some amazing things. I looked over at Tressa.........she was smiling.


Taylor is a natural with horses. A true gift! She has been teaching Kiowa to trust her. It was beautiful to watch. Isn't she a pretty Paint.

Then it was time to show that she would allow a blanket to be put on her back. To watch Tay and the patience that is needed to work with a horse was precious.

Then she put on the saddle. Was really a neat thing to watch. Hours and hours
to get to this stage.

Tressa mounted her horse! See the flip flops? Not recommended! It felt good to Tress after waiting for 3 years.

A precious birthday gift from her sister.........I am a blessed Momma. The girls have been together all of their life. It has been wonderful! It has been a blessing for them.

From the first day that Kiowa was born Tressa has gotten real close to Kiowa's nose and let
her breathe Tressa's smell. It is really a neat thing to watch. She has been with Tressa all of her life.......they are very good friends.

Now Taylor will help Tressa with training her horse. Soon Tressa will take over.
We have been waiting
for a long time to get Kiowa to this point. We will enjoy the fruits of their labor!

Just thought you would like to see what happened on our farm Saturday morning.


Hugs and may the Lord bless your week,

Me

  2. Your girls are so beautiful, inside and out! Kiowa is a pretty good "looker", too. LOL

    We have some horses that need to be broke....Oklahoma's not all that far.

    Lovely pictures, Linda!

    May your week be filled with the joy of the LORD!

    Blessings,

    BTW, I don't sew, but I love the apron pattern and my 92 year old mother-in-law would dearly love it. Would you gals have time to sew one before Christmas and how much would you charge? Just let me know. If you don't have time, I'll understand. Thanks!
