Birthday Horses -- By Meg

On Friday Emma wanted to go to the horses for her birthday on Saturday. 

We couldn't go on Saturday because I had to teach the kids at church. 

So went went on Friday. 

Emma wanted to pack a lunch and have a picnic with the horses.

 So we packed up a lunch and headed out to the barn. 

Checking his legs.

Cleaning her hooves.

Ain't that lovely!!! 

She is getting better and better!!!

She thought she was a jockey!!

She sat down and started pouting because I wanted a turn with her horse!! 

That horse IS NOT very comfortable without a saddle!

Eating lunch!

The Birthday Girl!!

The Crazy Little Sister! :)

She wanted to eat with me! She stayed there for a while!

One quick story! Don't be disturbed! 

So After lunch Emma and Lilly got on their horses and stared around this trail. 

They started around, all was fine. 

I was watching them while Mom, Dad, and another missionary lady (who has been staying with us for a couple of days) were talking. 

 Then, all of a sudden I saw a horse's head fly in the air above the wall!! 

I said, "Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!" 

And I started running to find them and almost got trampled by the 2 horses running away. 
And Emma and Lilly were not on their backs!!!!!

I ran to Lilly and Emma. 

Lilly was on the ground and Emma was collecting the saddle pad things. 

So to make this long story short. 

The horses got spooked and reared back and threw Emma and Lilly off. 

Emma didn't get hurt but Lilly hit her head on the ground and on the horse's hoof. 

She was able to stand up and get back to the stable. 

Lilly thought Emma's horse got to close to her horse and that is what made him go crazy. 

They weren't very happy with each other.

But then we found out that there was a snake right where they were and

 that was what probably spooked them. No one was hurt but Lilly is sore today. 

Thank the Lord no one got hurt!!!

Hugs,
Meg
