Christmas Party Cowboy Style

The "farmhands" decided that today would be a good day to have
our Christmas Party and exchange gifts.


Spaghetti and Meatballs


Corn on the Cob


Cupcakes and little bags filled with loot.
Everyone was tickled over what they got.


Eden & Nicole putting on their new Spur Straps

Rick doing some "horse business" while watching the kids.

Then the kids headed out to the barn.

It was decided at lunch that we would take our ponies to the

sale in Oklahoma.

So Rick decided that it was best to go ahead and shave our colt, Pixie.

This is Pixie. She is a year and a 1/2.

She will follow you around like a puppy....But

she is too small for the kids(so they think)....

Before we can sale her she needs to be clipped

and BROKEN!

Caleb listening to the "Operation Pony" plan.

I don't think he's buyin' it.

John Cross watching from his horse.

Car Car knows Pixie isn't happy...so she isn't happy either.

Rick clipping Pixie.

Caleb has her pinned up against the door.

Morgan taking it ALL in.

Then our 2 Female Farm-hands decided that they were

going to start "breaking" her.

She wouldn't move, so Eden tried to whack her with a little stick.

That didn't work. Sooo......

Nicole decided to walk in front of her.

Pixie followed her.........

THEN Pixie started to trot beside Nicole..........

THEN Pixie started chasing Nicole...............

THEN Eden fell off........

Into the Mud!

While the other kids watched & laughed

& laughed!

While Rick watches in disbelief.....

But he figures everyone needs to learn to break a horse....

might as well start with a little one.

This was fun.

Peace.
