You only turn 1, once. Our baby horse is now an official yearling. She turned 1 year old on May 17th at 7:20am. We threw her a party at the barn and a good time was had by all. I want to thank all our party goers for sharing in this special day. We’ll let the pictures tell the story.
Cass and Becca know something is up, they just aren’t sure what.
We had snacks, drinks (even mimosa’s!), cake for them, cake for us…I had asked people to donate for Faith, the pregnant Shire mare at Miracle Horse Rescue, in lieu of bringing presents. Some still brought presents but they were all generous and shared their love to the tune of $410!
Eva, the cattledog, was on hand to keep everyone in line. She’s not used to trying to mange 15 or so people! The girl was pooped by the time we got home that afternoon.
The birthday girl wore purple for the day. She was certainly the star and drank in all the attention. That’s my sister, Vicki and her husband, Robert. Vick had a horse when she was young so being around mine now has been nice for her.
The favored gift was carrots. Becca is nicely snacking with Julie and showing off her fancy necklace.
Spencer meets our girl. Look at her kind eye…even with meeting a goofball!
Cass is thinking this all may be a bit ridiculous.
Ahhh! This time apples & carrots! Thank you, Bonnie!
Vicki looks on with Carol (Scottie’s mom) and her husband, Jimmy. Oh, no! The necklace…
Oh, well, it was very cute while it lasted.
Scottie & his mom. First time she met the girls or saw him in quite a while.
Jeff keeps his eye on the cows, who were unfazed by the whole shenanigans.
Don spends some one on one time with the birthday girl.
Jeff brought his pug/minpin pup, Betty Boop. Yikes! What a mug. (Betty’s not Jeff’s.)
Cass had to come check this out. They had a showdown of sorts.
Cass wins.
We put together the last year with the girls in photos. I was explaining key pictures to Debra, Don, Bonnie & Matt.
We have no power in the barn but a good breeze gets going through when both big doors are open.
Time for birthday cake! Yes, we sang to her. From left to right: Spencer, Don, Carol, Jimmy, Julie, Debra, Eva, Cass, me, Becca, Terri, Matt, Bonnie, Kim, Jeff, Betty Boop, Tammy.
All ingredients vet approved by Dr. Carson. Thanks Bone Appetite!
Terri helps me help the girls. She is the property and cow owner. She’s also a big fan of Becca’s.
Ingredients were also Cass approved.
A rare photo of Scottie & me together.
Can you tell how smitten we are?
A little heart to heart here. I think he’s telling her about starting training for the Derby in a few years. What a story that would be – short, little girl pony outruns all the big boys!
Eva must have heard what he said to Becca. She thought they best get started training right away.
WHOOHOO!!!!! I’M A BIG GURL!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday Rebecca Maye.
