Saddle Up!

Grandpa decided that not only does his fave granddaughter need a horse, she also needs a saddle. The package arrived yesterday and we were all very tickled to have it!

Ella loved it immediately and yelled "My saddle!" when she saw it. The stirrups are a bit too long but otherwise it is fantastic! It does have these orange-ish leather pieces that I'm not too fond of... OSU or UT fans we are not. Maybe I can look into changing that out for some much finer RED!



My dirty faced girl blending in with the wall, apparently!


We plan on tossing the new saddle onto Scooter tonight and giving E her first ride. Exciting times!

Footnote: I have been hauling my tail up and down the road in a semi-jog type fashion for the past month or so and I seem to have formed a habit of it. I guess. Part of my motivation to keep it up will be my public declaration (here!) of my progress. I will call such daily updates 'Footnotes'. Damn, that's clever! Too bad I didn't come up with it and instead ripped it from a running newsletter I saw once.

Footnote 2: Wednesday night I made it 3 miles for the first time ever and boy am I proud! Last night I took the night off.

Megs! You already more melons than most! E! Love those boots, girl! I can't wait to see pics your mama takes of you having fun at the beach!

You go girl! 3 miles! That's quite a feat. And impressive that you have kept up the run-like process for a month! Keep it up. And can't wait to see more pics of Miss E in her new saddle on Scooter.
