Ella's Birthday Present

Ella decided instead of having a big official birthday party, she wanted to go horse-back riding. She is OBSESSED with horses these days. Don't believe me? Read the story from our visit to La Grande, Oregon last month! She got a horse movie "Spirit" for her birthday along with a toy horse that neighs and sneezes, and a horse pet pillow! She loved taking care of the horse before she rode it. She learned how to groom it, spray the fly spray on him, get out the dirt and rocks off the bottom of his hoofs, and put the saddle on.
She was in HEAVEN
She learned really quick how to ride him, the noises and commands to give. She was good enough to ride by HERSELF!



I'm not sure if Cole had as much fun the entire time, chasing after kittens, finding balls, and stepping in the mud.
But he did get to pet this baby horse only 3 months old.

Watch this video of Ella riding the horse all by herself and giving commands!

That's an awesome birthday present. What a cute girl. Now she's totally gonna turn into one of those kids who has horse folders and horse tee shirts and spends all day drawing horses...
