Ponies!!! {June 2010}

Okay.

This is starting to leave the Zoo in the dust.
Reagan's favorite right now is going to Paw-Paw's to see Tracy's horses,
or as Reagan knows them, 'the ponies.'

I even SPELL pony now and she starts her little "NAY, NAY!"  All excited ready to go.  Yesterday morning, I told her we were going to say hi to Nani and then going to Daddy's work.  She responded, "Nani, Dada" (shake her head no with wrinkled brows) "Nay, Nay, Nay, Puh-Puh!" (translation: pony at Paw-Paw's- pointing to the door with the biggest smile ever.) 

We have started a new thing, and yesterday she got to watch Tracy feed the horses, and we rode out though the paddocks on the golf cart. Hard to beat that. She runs though the barn, waving "HI!" to all the barn dogs, and the cats too. Then we always have to love on the 'ponies' Guiness and Dewey. Guiness is her favorite, and apparently he likes her too. They said he doesn't like anyone to touch him, yet he held perfectly still for Reagan to point out all his facial features and hug him repeatedly.

And kisses.

And put her sunglasses on him.

We love Guiness.

We don't use the term "ponies" lightly.  These are World Champion Horses.  My Dad's wife Tracy has been riding and competing her whole life and Dewey is her Champ right now, but her history goes way back.  Her trainer too, Cynthia.  There's a little piece of news here, not that it gives you but probably a portion of her accomplishments.  I am so impressed by her, and have such respect for what they do.  I can't begin to say how many ribbons, blankets and trophy's adorn Dad and Tracy's house, they have spilled over into Kaki's old house next door.  They're beautiful.

Cynthia said the other day she would trade me pictures for Reagan's riding lessons one day. Don't THINK we don't plan on jumping all over that!  Oh we would love for her to ride!  Here's a few of her little Lucy with her horse Clay...

I also shot Guiness and his "Mommy" Collier last week. She goes with Tracy and Cynthia for competitions a lot and Guiness has his share of awards under his belt as well. Wow, I just went and googled them both. They blow me away.  And this girl is only nineteen.  Here's a few fav's...

I LOVE WHAT I DO.    ; )
