A Perfect Day at Ryerss

Ryerss has been one of our favorite places to visit this past year. We tend to go weekly, especially when the weather is warm. Once the cold weather hits we tend not to go as much. It was a beautiful day in September and you boys had off from school so we took a trip to see our favorite horses; Budrow, Major & Omen.

As I said, we take lots of visits to Ryerss but this one will always stand out to me. This was probably our longest visit ever as we stayed for over 2 hours. We got to feed the horses in the field, watch them come into the barn and then feed them in their stalls. We got to spend a lot of time with Budrow. He came over to visit us in the field and of course got a peppermint treat in his stall.

Chase I could watch you with Budrow all day long. He is a true calming force for you. You really struggled this fall with your anxiety but your whole demeanor changes around this horse. I so wish he could be yours. I know he appreciates you going to visit him though.

These photos will forever be some of my favorites.

Gidee-Up: Horse Birthday Party

We celebrated your boys birthdays with all of your very best friends by having a birthday party at Sheeder Mill Farm and going horseback riding. This was such a fun party!! I've loved having all of your parties at home up until this point but there was no way I could have horses in our backyard.

We spent an hour riding horses followed by cupcakes and snacks. We played a few games like Pin the Tail on the pony, and pass the parcel. Grandma face painted everyone's faces.

we all left dirty and sweaty so I KNOW you boys had the best time!
