Birthday Horse Ride

This was a late birthday present for Piper. It was arranged at the beginning of the chestnut harvest before many people came. A friend brought her horse along and gave all the children present rides, nut just Piper. The group picture shows five happy children, posing not riding. The rides held two children at a time and they loved it, and waited for their next turn with someone.

Piper and Jasper shared a number of turns. Piper wore her beanie (tuk) that her Grand-Nan had knitted.

When Piper was not riding she was walking beside 'Magic' the horse. She was so excited and interested in everything that had to do with a horse that she just had to trail along beside its owner when she was not on its back. Afterward, Piper told us that this was the nicest birthday gift she has ever had. She was so chuffed, so pleased.

Gord had to prise Jasper off Magic at the end of his rides. He would have stayed on longer. Gord had to console him till his turn came again. It certainly was a super gift idea on the part of Bec and Gord. Well done!
