I hear galloping through the house, I find makeshift stables made out of barstools, that are corralling our dog in the kitchen, I see Cannon's crib mat draped over Ella's back as a horse pad for her friends that are riding her back. I find pillows stacked in the hallways, my pantry shelves have been emptied of all my canned goods to be lined up on the floor, broomsticks propped between two chairs, tape from the ottoman to the entertainment center all to make horse jumps. If I didn't know our little Ella sometimes thinks she is a horse, I would find this all very strange (but my daughter thinking she is a horse is not strange, right?). Since I do know Ella, and her fascination with horses, I can't help but smile, and make sure to snap a picture, of all these little evidences that show us that Ella is her own little cowgirl.



Here is our stallion, Kent, jumping one of the jumps.

The picture of Kent jumping over the jumps just makes me laugh! Kent is such a good sport to help Ella feel all her effort was worth it. That is one little girl who loves her horses!
Ella. Sweet western Ella.
Enough said. :)

I dreamed of riding horses as a little girl....oh wait I still do. I love that Ella's is actually getting to do what she loves, what a lucky girl!
