Baby Horses!!

A few weeks ago I helped teach someone from church about conducting a choir. We had a great time and I learned that she worked at the horse breeding center on campus and she invited us to come see their horses! You can bet we were there quickly!!! We got a tour of the place and fed some hay to the horses (they even got to go in the Palomino's stall to pet it - Lisa...these should have been your kids!!!). Then we took a walk out to the fields where the babies and mommy horses were (that field past the Mondavi center as you make a right to get onto I80 or 113). The horses were so friendly!!! And little...it was awesome!

E and Mg were a little nervous at first so this one laying down was a great place to start. It's mommy (the white one) was E's favorite horse.
M and this horse were great buddies - it followered her all around and M just loved it!!! It was fun to watch them together!
Here's MG...eventually she really warmed up to them :)
I was surprised at how much A liked the horses. She just laughed and giggled at them (she doesn't do that much!). It was a lot of fun to take her and fun to watch her grow up. She really liked them and it was nice to have a quiet horse to show her!



Our friend said there were 6 more babies to be born...we can't wait to go back! Hooray for great friends!!

You're so lucky...I'm jealous! We used to visit the horses all the time when we lived in Davis, but we certainly never got invited into the stall with a baby!

Those horses are so cute! My girls would LOVE that.
