Horses & Fainting Goats

I thought you might enjoy this post I made on my family blog. Tracy is who I made the quilt "Kisses for Cade" Quilt for and you can see it here.

Yesterday, we went out to visit Tracy, Kenna's Horse Teacher at the Barn where she works. It's a lot of fun and this time we took Mark with us. We got to help Tracy finish feeding the horses and then we went to visit the new tennants. They have four fainting goats. It's called Myotonia Congenita and you can read about it here if you're interested. It was so funny to watch them. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. So, I looked it up on google and found this fun video on YOU TUBE for you to watch.



I've also included some pictures that I took yesterday and the time Kenna and I went out there about a month ago. We really had a good time and Mark got to ride on Tash too!

Tracy is one SPECIAL Lady! We Love her!

Tracy caught the baby goat who is just a few weeks old. Look at the Momma goat looking a bit concerned. She would stand close and bleat to make sure her baby was okay.

This horses name is Handsome. He's a National Jumping Champion. He's also very tall even though you don't get a very good feel for his height in this picture and he's over 18 hands high.

Tracy is around 5 ft. tall.

Kenna got to hold the baby goat.

Here we are posing by the hay we were giving to each horse.

Kenna & her brother, Mark.

You should have seen Kenna get all nervous when her brother got to ride on the horse. She wasn't so sure that he would be okay. She wondered if he could even ride a horse. But, he assured her that he'd be okay and that he'd been on a horse a few times in his life (scout trips).
