I guess it's in the blood...

Yesterday began as a very snowy one.  At seven o'clock when I got up it was snowing so hard that I couldn't see the neighbor's house.  Finally a real snow.  Here's hoping for a nice snowy winter this year.

Anyway, Daniella had called the day before to see if she could come and stay while her parents went shopping.  She wanted to practice a music piece she wants to play for our family Christmas gathering.  If figure she was also hoping that her favorite aunt Jenn would be here and we would do something horsey.  I called Jenn to let her know that Daniella would be here.  Jenn said she would try to make it over sometime before Daniella left.

I guess it was around two o'clock when Jenn got here.  We were just having some homemade chicken noodle soup.  Just as we were finishing up our soup, Chris and Chita came back.  Jenn told them we  hadn't done our horsey thing yet.  It was decided that Jenn would take Daniella home after our play time.

So, it must have been after three o'clock and the three of us headed out to the horses.

Here's what transpired.  We tacked up Isis and hooked her to the cart.  Nothing unusual about this.  We spent a good hour just driving Isis around in the arena, taking turns driving.  Here's the "in the blood" part...Daniella was also able to take the reins to do some of the driving so that would make (drum roll please) three generations of ladies driving here at the same time.  Myself, my daughter, and my granddaughter.  Pretty cool I think.

Thanks to Jenn's nifty phone we have pictures and videos:

Three generations of ladies driving horses, and loving horses.  To those persons who have family members who want a pony for Christmas I have to say "It's in the blood.  And we never grow out of it, it just gets stronger!"  Don't try to ignore it, cause it won't go away.  Sometimes we have to learn to be patient.  Sometimes we don't get our horses until we are all grown up.  But it doesn't matter, someday does come and then we get to live our dream of having our own horse.

For those of you who understand the draw to horses...It IS worth the wait!

Onward and Upward!
