Horsin' Around...Literally

Spencer may be a cautious child in most things, but not when it comes to horses!

Spencer and his cousin Michael ride up at my sister Tamara's place.


Heading up the road.



Horses tend to get hot on 100+ degree days, so they like to take them for a swim!




This horse is a little fearful of water....my sister tries to encourage him in.


Below is a video of Spencer and his cousin Michael. Important to note is that this is the first time Spencer has been on a horse in 3 years...the last time he rode was with his cousin Meagan the summer before she passed away. Spencer developed a special love of horses from Meagan, and even though he was only 4 when he rode with her, remembers many of the things she taught him. I'm so proud of him. He was so brave. The horse even took off in a gallop, and even though he couldn't reach the stirrups, rode like a champ. It was his mom that got nervous and almost didn't get the moment on video (as you will see and hear)! Thank you, Meagan.
