Big horses meet little girls (cute!)

What sweet horses!

I remember when we were talking about getting a pony for my oldest son. Everyone told us "don't get a pony, get a horse". We ended up getting an older rescued quarter horse and she's the most gentle and amazing horse I could have imagined, especially for a mare. She's got some scars on her face and definitely not going to win any beauty contests, but she's amazing with our kids. My 4 year old rides her and even my 20 month old sits on her while either my husband or I lead her around. She's so great with them.

He's certainly a great looking horse, love his size.

I'm not sure how much they're asking. You'd have to contact her. He's an 8yr old, 17.3hh Dutch Warmblood though, schooling 4'. I don't think it says the price on our website, either (http://www.oaklandhillsfarm.com/sales.htm)

Those are some big horses!

I know, right?!?! I was schooling a 14hh pony last night and this little girl was riding Lily, who's roughly 16. I swear, it's ridiculous sometimes! That was after a ride from Hell on Gunner though, who's a normal sized horse, so I wasn't gonna complain about an "easy" ride with the pony.

The best horse at our barn is, without a doubt, Lily. She's a full sized horse and parents are always worried about letting their kids get on, but she is an ANGEL! I swear, she puts up with everything!

My barn just uploaded a video of Vivian riding Hopper - SO CUTE! I love that he's just hacking around on a loose rein
