Today, our church sponsored Community Fest. We like to do fun things to involve the neighborhood kids. I promised that Mr J and I would bring a couple of horses out for the event.
Someday, when I'm filthy stinking rich, I'll have one of those fancy trailers with living quarters up front. Until then, I'll settle for the stock trailer. Here's the rig, ready and waiting...
They had lots of inflatable play things.
Simulation only... not a REAL pirate ship.
I wish I had a picture of the one out front. I didn't see it until we were leaving. The kids were having a blast on it! It looked like there was something in the middle to stand on, and you knocked your opponent off into the pit. Something like this...
Someone had a couple of wagons hooked up for a hay ride around the fields.
Nekoda and Buddy were looking good and on their best behavior for the event!
They didn't like having to stay in their stalls for an hour beforehand...
I brushed them out and detangled their manes. I wasn't about to let them out to roll!
They weren't the only horses there...
There were a couple of minis on hand for the kids to pet.
There was even a pony pulling a cart! The pony wasn't thrilled to hook up!
The kids had a blast. It was cold and my joints are complaining now. I'll probably be sore tomorrow from lifting all the big kids up into the saddle, but it was worth it. I've never seen so many big smiles in one day!
