A Girl and Her Horse

October 16, 2009 by Shauna 14 Comments

Once upon a time, there was an adorable little cowgirl. She loved horses, but didn’t have her own big horse. She rode her daddy’s horse; she rode her mama’s horse, but what this little cowgirl wanted was a horse of her own.

Her fairy-godmother knew this and had the perfect horse for the cowgirl. So she flicked her wand and gave the horse to this sweetest little cowgirl.

She loves giving him cookies.

showin some love

That horse, Flash loves his little cowgirl, Rilee and his cowgirl Rilee loves him.

“Should we walk over the log?”

“Flash, you’re such a good boy!”

“Let’s put your pink horseshoes on!”

Thanks to my friend Lacee and her adorable daughter Rilee, for taking such great care of Flash and for loving this extra special horse.

And for those of you wondering, I am the fairy godmother.

Spread the Love!

    I am so glad you commented on my blog so I found yours!! My horses take up as much or more time than decorating as a hobby. And it is always fun to find another blogger that is somewhat close by. Hope we get a nice warm weekend for riding!
