Adriana has wanted her own horse since she was 3 years old. I inform her she was born into the wrong family (as we are the poor family) and we quickly moved on. Its never been an issue until Adriana started Pony Club. Most of the kids in the club have their own horses they can use for everything. Well nothing has changed with us and we can still not afford a horse. But we did come across a great opportunity! Someone had just finished a half lease on a great horse and the owner was looking for someone to take over the other half of the lease. Well this was still a bit much for us but after talking with Alexis' mom (the other young pony club girl) and getting a discount from Darla who owns the stable, we were able to do a quarter lease on the horse! Adriana was so excited to finally have her "own horse" in a way. The horse is a female and her name is Irish. Don't ask me much more about her because I don't know. I'm still learning a lot about horses. Our lease officially begins in April and the girls are able to use Irish for all their Pony Club activities! We figured we would do this for a few years until we decided to do another lease or get Adriana her own horse. But the horse doesn't come free to her. She has agreed to do a list of chores around our house each week along with doing other varies chores around her grandparents houses. She also has to keep her grades up. She has agreed to this and is doing very well with "earning" her horse.
So here is the newest member of our family.......Irish!
Its also not all fun and games with Irish around the stable. Adriana is responsible for grooming Irish and taking care of the tact.
She even had to pick out Irish's feet while standing over a present Irish decided to leave for Adriana! But it all comes with owning a horse!
