Happy Labor Day!

Today was a great day for me. I went to the barn and rode my horse Penny, and I drove my mini JR. Here is picture of them together that I took 3 days ago.

How Cute! They are both grazing, lol. Well anyways.. I was having lots of fun at the barn today. When I drove JR we troted along in the ring up in the picture above. It was sooo fun. By the way, today was JR's second time driving ever. So I am proud of him. :) Well my aunt drove him, too. Oh I forget to tell you that my Dad rode Penny!! It was so cool to watch! He was cantering and everything. :) Well anyway back to the JR story. Ok well, JR was troting along and my dad metioned that the tires looked flat. So we got JR's cart off and everything, and I walked him down the hill. After that my mom metioned to someone that she wanted to drive him , but the tires where flat. So the guy said he would fill them for us. After the tires where filled my Mom got in the cart. She drove around a couple times troting, walking, and once JR broke into a canter. So after a few times around JR spooked and my Mom fell out of the cart. haha. Well JR ran around like a idoit for a long time and we where afaird he was going to ran out on the road. He didn't thankfully, but he did hit the barn truck tire. Then the cart fell over and we were able to catch him. Thank Goodness! Well he made it alive with only a few cuts. And my mom got a bruse on her elbow. Sorry Mom. :(
