Kentucky Derby...Meysa Style

While at the lovely cider farm this last week my girls found the jackpot. That is the jackpot in terms of horses!! Ok, not really the jackpot, because that would be a REAL LIVE horse munching on carrots in our backyard. But this is the closest thing to a jackpot these girls are going to get!! TWO (real important so as to not incite WW3) spring loaded horses, or whatever you call them. They could have ridden on these things for hours but thankfully there were other kids there that wanted a turn so we had to limit their time. Meysa instantly got on and off she went. She was riding like a jockey in the Kentucky Derby. She was making the sound effects and hunkering down in her saddle.
Here she is coming around turn #1, getting into a nice groove and flipping dirt in the other horses' faces.
Getting a little air off the saddle is always good. Means you are in a good rhythm right?!!
Woooooo, I think Meysa just won the race. She was so fun to watch. This girl would LOVE, and I mean LOVE with her last dying breath a horse all her own. Maybe one day we can do that but darnit for right now this is as close as she is going to get.

Show offs!! Riding without hands is only for professionals, which of course these two chickas are!!

Lauryn loves the horses almost as much as Meysa. She loves doing what big sis is doing so naturally she would love horses too. She had a horse just her size to race with, and the race between the two was neck and neck.

As I type this Lauryn is watching Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron. To which she is romping on my couches and making horse sounds as loud as can be!! Oh yeah and the sound track is what is in my CD player in the car!! I think we are on horse overload!!
