Rhoda not only got the pleasure of Jack twirling her hair, but also got the opportunity to be peed on!




















Playing near horses is just about as calming as riding them.

After his first horse hug, Jack slept for about four hours...and still slept all night!

At times, Jack shared his saddle with Mommy.

By day two, Jack was very comfortable riding Hope. Rhoda accompanies him in the saddle, providing an excellent backrest. Jenny is at the lead.















When all attempts at food fail...

there is always watermelon!
















When we arrived, Jack had to do a lot of exploring (this continued over the next few days).

















Big trampolines are especially fun with cowboy boots on!













They had the carport set up as a make-shift horse corral...One of Jack's favorite spots to be "alone" (with the exception of Hope and Clue).

A Life-Changing Experience!!!

Jack enjoyed riding with mommy...
And Jack enjoyed riding alone.




He gave lots of hugs while riding bareback on Hope and Clue.














Angie took a special liking to Jack too...

Dear sweet Angie would spend hours in the freezing creek with Jack...

or jumping on the trampoline...

or running down the road...

or RIDING HORSES!

(More pictures and info. will follow - stay tuned!)
