Heather ________________________________ Hi, all-- Yesterday was so beautiful here in North Carolina so we had two guests to the farm. Ever since we bought a farm and brought the Fjords home in July, it has been so much fun to share them with other people, especially those who have never spent much time around horses. Yesterday morning, a friend whose wife is living with ALS brought his two young daughters over. The wife is in her thirties and has dealt with her illness with such grace...unfortunately, she was having a difficult day and couldn't come out. The girls were so excited to be at the farm and we spent almost three hours playing with Fjords, grooming, driving, riding and feeding apples. I hope that for a few hours they could forget all that they are coping with. Then we had a neighbor's young Swedish au pair out in the afternoon. She rode a lot at home and was anxious to see the Fjord horses. She was so excited to be with them--we took a long trail ride and even went horse four wheeling and cut some new trails with our faces. :) Elin could not get over the horses' temperaments--particularly how willing they were and up for anything...any direction at any gait. When I asked if she wanted to canter, she had a huge grin on her face. When I asked if she was ready to quit, she said that she would rather ride all day. Hope to have her out again. Just had to share a great day with the people that I knew would most understand the magic of these little horses. They have just been a perfect match for our family. Have a great week!
