Horse Show

Our friends invited us to go to a horse show with them Sunday afternoon. It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm and the girls LOVED the horses.
Sahara was ready to jump on one and go for a ride...maybe next time... this was a show to watch other people.
We walked around the stables looking at all the horses. This one looked friendly so Tirza got to touch it.

We watched several beautiful horses preform. The big girls enjoyed it but Tirza wasn't very impressed. She wanted to see the horses jumping.

This horse was gorgeous and could do all the advanced moves, it was very fun to watch.
After watching a few horses we went to get some drinks and they have a cafe that overlooks an inside arena. This day they were having lessons for young girls and they were learning how to jump! The girls LOVED that, they watched for a long time.
We ended the evening by taking a little walk on the beach on the way home. It was still warm even though the sun was going down and the girls couldn't resist splashing in the freezing cold water.
A day of horses and the beach... not bad if you ask me.

What fun! Parker and Chloe will be so jealous when they see this. They love horses. We are reading The White Stallion of Lipizza right now - about famous show horses.

sounds like fun! We see horses here all the time but they just stand around eating grass...
