A horse-January 21, 2017

Christmas was such bedlam that we did not give the girls all of their gifts. We hid a rocking horse. And that is not the correct word for this horse. When I was little they were called rocking horses.

This is Blaze. He makes different galloping or trotting sounds

depending on how fast the rider is pushing him. He whinnies and

nays. See the carrot on the stand. Put that in his mouth and he makes

chewing sounds. If the rider goes fast enough somebody hollers

"Yee haw!". Zoey loves that and will copy the sound.

 

 

Hannah has no leg muscles so she can only last a couple of minutes.

 

 

Zoey may only be 2 years old, but from the moment she saw Blaze,

she was quite at home. She put her foot in the stirrup and slung her leg

over the back. And off she can went. She can ride for a very long time

without tiring. The first time she rode Blaze she dismounted and patted

him on the back and said "My horse".

 

We are so glad we waited until now to give the girls this part of their Christmas. They enjoyed it more. We will remember this in the future.
