Lately Claire has expressed an interest in horses. Luckily for her, we have some friends who happen to own four horses. Their daughter, Laura, said that she would love to have Claire come over and ride horses with her, and help her take care of the horses. Here they are combing out the tail. It was apparently very knotted. Claire had to use some de-tangler on it.
Here Claire is brushing one of the horses. They were very dusty. This horse's mane and tail were not nearly as tangled.
Claire helped to clean 3 of the 4 horses. I told her that her arms are going to be very sore tomorrow. She worked for 3 1/2 hours brush one end or the other of these horses. Laura offered to let her ride today. But Claire said that she wanted to get to know the horses first. Now she feels as if she knows them, and she is anxious to go riding next time. We will see. These friends live very near to Grandma and Grandpa Wright's house. They live off of Van Geisen.

I am told by a recovering equestrian that this is the "Gateway" drug to horse ownership and that we should stop this activity right away before it puts us into the poorer house.
