a pretty pony sleepover!

so, i feel like lately i’m finding myself a little bit scrambled among what feels like 9,000 home projects, things to do, errands to run, ideas i’m desperately trying not to forget! i’m feeling some viiiibes, making lots of lists and all that, you know? weather changes, they make the horses all frisky and the humans a little silly, i think!

but! when my mother texts me that there are last minute polo ponies arriving at the farm for a one night sleepover… well… wild horses can’t keep us away?! actually, if wild horses were gonna be there, too, that would be amazing! oh, but anyway, anyway… a few years back, the farm started getting some wonderful polo families visiting here and there during polo season, and it quickly became one of my very favorite things to just absorb and admire. it’s such an incredible sport! the people and horses are both such inspiring athletes, and it’s all so different from the jumping and dressage that i grew up doing. so, this horsey visit was a super quick one, but we were so so happy to meet this sweet family and their beautiful herd!

and check out my casey boy up there. our horses were like, whoooo do these hot shots think they are?! there were definitely some pretty ladies in the bunch, too! casey loves the ladies.

[and see, i’m telling you, horses are so good for girls. here is yet another afternoon i spent gazing at equines instead of being off somewhere temping my wallet with shopping, which is obviously the natural alternative, right!? so, if you think about it, that totally adds up to a whole lot of money saved over the course of a girl’s lifetime! gotta love it, i mean you just gooootta love it. sidenote, though: let’s just not ask my parents how well my horses-save-money logic holds up, okay? heh. heh heh. ;)]
