Horsey Homecoming!

 A couple dreams came true here this weekend.  Molly and Jackie have been hoping, praying and pining for a horse for several years :)  This year, courtesy of our tax refund, their dream was realized!
Jackie's horse is named "Star Fox" and is part Quarterhorse and part Arab (see above)  Molly's horse is "Banker" and he is a Quarterhorse (see below).

The younger set has been less than careful about how close they get to the electric fence... Still, none but Matt has been zapped and that while he was working with his brothers getting the fence up.  Says Matt: "That made my butt pinch!"  Now that there's a healthy zap! YOUCH!

Jaime (whose behavior has been WAY less than stellar practically since I hit "Publish" on my post about her last Saturday) got a chance to ride with a little help from Pete:

And here is Kelly, horsey person extraordinaire, who has been instrumental in picking out the horses, getting all the stuff we need for them, and giving lessons galore to all her brothers and sisters :)
