We added a few horses and a horse trailer to our farm this year.
Journey was our first addition. She’s a Missouri Foxtrotter with brown and white paint coloring.
Lady is our oldie that we got for a companion for Journey. She’s a 20 year old quarter horse and also has brown and white coloring. She has some arthritis in her knee, so only the younger, lighter kids ride her.
Blue was added a month later. He’s a large, brown, gentle gelding with a small white star on his forehead.
Our latest addition was a mini horse on Christmas Day. Miss Mini is a spunky little horse that was quickly nicknamed Missy by our five-year-old. She’s also trained to drive a cart, which we don’t have at the moment, but will be fun if we end up finding one.
Our girls have been wanting horses for years, so they were a long time coming, but now that they’re here, they are enjoying them immensely. We have learned a lot already and are still learning as we go. The plan is to find one more horse come spring for either Paul or I to be able to take the girls on trail rides, but for now, they are riding the trail around our pasture, alongside the road, or in the fields around our house.
