We have had some amazing experiences in the last 24 hours.  The kids got to have their first ever horse ride – a real horse ride, not a pony attached to a wooden wheel going in circles.  They were each on their own horse and went out with my Uncle Dave and one of his friends; it was about an hour long ride in blowing wind and rain, up a hill, through a herd of cattle and back down the front side of the hill.

Then today, we went out in search of wild horses!  I did not know this was something real in today’s world – I thought the concept of wild horses was in past history only.  We went driving across beautiful country, when we saw a bunch of wild horses we parked the truck, got out and walked several hundred yards.  The sign said we were to stay 500 feet away, Uncle Dave had a range finder so we knew exactly how close we were.

We stopped at 750 feet and were content just watching, then there were two horses that came from behind us on the left and a batch of three to the right in front of us – they walked to meet each other and came to just 246 feet away from us and did their demonstration of who was who in the herd.  We saw them kick up at each other and could hear them snorting and whining at each other.  It was crazy amazing!
