Horses + Huskies = Allergies & Fun

So...it's happened...Abby has become a horse girl! We went for a friendly visit to our friend Laura's house and all of a sudden she's been bitten by the bug!

It didn't matter that I am totally allergic to horses and dogs and all things farm. What mattered is that Abby was having soooo much fun riding and learning that Dean and I stood in the wind photographing all the details.

Abby's first ride was Junior. Laura did an excellent job teaching her all about horses, and how to prepare for a ride.

Abby's version of a steering wheel - She would tap and say "Walk on!"

Riding with her new friend Addison:


After the ride, it was time to explore the Husky side of the business! It was sooo cool!!!









Our family can't wait to go back! Thanks to Dawn and her family and Laura for welcoming us. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as Iron Will and eagerly shared my fun with my students!

Off to take more allergy pills just recollecting this wonderful experience...
