On Saturday, we went to visit Magic the horse! First, the kids fed horse cookies to Magic’s friend.
Magic was in the barn. He got cookies, too.
Then they brushed Magic.
Lily was scared, and would only stand outside the barn.
Soon she decided that horses are pretty cool! Although, she still wouldn’t go near one.
Johnny helped walk Magic out,
And was thrilled to ride Magic. First slow, then fast!
Emma got to ride, too – with the biggest smile I have EVER seen on her face!
Then Emma helped walk Magic back to the barn.
Both Emma and Johnny climbed the ladder up to the loft.
They threw down hay bales, which they carried to the horses for their dinner.
Then they measured out some grain, and carried it to the horses too:
This was SUCH a cool outing! Emma and Johnny have been before, but this was the first time I got to go. We all had a blast! Thank you, J!!!
Have you ever ridden or fed a horse?

That is so cool! Emma’s smile is huge! How fun for them! I’ve never been on a horse before.

They had SO much fun!!!
I’ve been on a pony (once, when I was 7 years old), but never a horse. Maybe someday!

Awww poor Lily. Looks like everyone else had fun.

I can only imagine how much your kids must have loved this! I love how you captured Lily’s unsure face. I’ve never fed a horse (just donkeys) but I have ridden a horse. We used to own horses when I was younger. They are definitely fun to ride!

What a fabulous experience. How fantastic to feed the horses as well.
Savvy and Blakie have been on a pony. Blakie was very cautious but Savvy loved it.

How very special! I’m so glad you were able to go along and capture the event on camera. Especially Emma’s delighted smile!!
There were horses near where I had swim lessons growing up, and we would sometimes stop by on our way home and feed them breath mints, which were the only suitable thing my mom had in her handbag. The horses seemed to like them… :)

I’ve heard that horses LOVE mints!
