Sundance….

A couple of years ago, my dad decided to buy a horse named Sundance for Gracie. Keep in mind that none of us have ever really been around horses and I am pretty sure that he had never even ridden one. I did not mind because I thought it would be fun and I would not have to take care of it.  None of us anticipated happening what happened. I never realized that this horse would live MANY years and I would be the proud owner. For the past year, I have just been paying the monthly bill while Mary and Megan have kindly taken care of her in Corpus.

I got to the point of either selling the horse or moving her up here. Owning a horse is expensive and we were not really getting much out of her by keeping her down there. The rational side of me told me to sell her because I know nothing about horses! However, my heart told me to move her close to us. I spoke to my dad about it many times before he passed away and I know he would want Gracie to enjoy her.

So, as crazy as it may be, I am officially joining the world of horse ownership next Sunday. We found a place to board her close to home for a reasonable price that offers lessons as well. I also have a few good friends/family that know a lot and have been great resources.

We purchased a trailer for “Gracie” last weekend. We got a great deal on it and we needed it to be able to move the horse around whenever we wanted (i.e. vet appointments) without having to ask someone else to do it for us! I had to decorate it just a bit for the world’s most spoiled 3 year old.

Wish us luck!
