If you know Parker, you know he has had a lifelong obsession with horses. Ever since he saw the movie Spirit for the first time, he has been simply amazed by a horse. I feel guilty to say that, even with my Uncle Bruce having a pasture full of horses, Parker has never had the privilege of riding a horse himself. Sure, we go to Bruce's barn and pet the horses when we have a chance, Parker has been to the famous Dixie Stampede and seen horses doing amazing tricks, and we have bought every toy horse that has been made. But, none of that compares to the joy of seeing him ride a horse for the first time.
Bruce has offered numerous times to saddle one up for Parker. Unfortunately, conflicting schedules have never allowed it to happen. However, Parker's friend, Miller, celebrated his 4th birthday on Sunday, and he had a horse for all of his friends to ride at his party! What a great idea!!! All of the children loved it!
Dixie was such a sweet horse. She did amazingly well with a backyard full of three and four year olds. Parker rode her several times and was just as excited as the first each time. We are so thankful he finally got to see what riding a horse was really like!!
