A girl and a horse





Spending some time with Mikayla and Cheyenne brought me back to my own childhood.I was quickly reminded of the special bond between a girl and her horse as I watched these two interact. The respect and trust for one another and the obvious compassion for eachother.
I was fortunate to grow up with a twin sister who rode horses. I was never one to take interest in riding, as I was the prissy girl and didn't want to get my hands dirty. But, I always admired my sister for her dedication to caring for her horses and how that was put before any social activities, even through high school. I can see this, too, in Mikalya. I am thrilled that she is one of my daughters best friends.
