The glamorous side of horse ownership!


Courtney thought she'd be funny by taking pictures as the men in her life scooped poop! Ryan wasn't laughing so much, but Courtney sure was having fun. She felt it necessary to capture the moment on camera. The tides were about to change though. Behind Courtney's back, Kip the horse was thinking, "Oh look, Courtney left the gate open and it's a beautiful evening for a walk. Maybe they won't notice me if I go eat the neighbor's grass. Oh no, they see me, here she comes. I'll leave her a nice surprise right here in the neighbor's yard and then be on my way. Catch me if you can!!"

Ryan popped some popcorn and pulled up a lawn chair cause this was a full blown entertainment extravaganza! The faster Courtney walked, the faster the horse walked. The faster Courtney ran, the faster the horse ran. Ever try to beat a horse in a foot race? A horse that didn't want to be caught? Imagine a runaway horse going through neighbor's yards, running in the street, Courtney getting heckled by drivers passing by, thoughts of looking for a lost horse at the crack of midnight. How much fun were we going to have with this and for how long? Luckily for Courtney that darn horse found a nice old vegetable garden about a block away. So the moral of the story is....horse ownership is not always glamorous, but it is pretty adventurous!
