Growing up I always loved going to my grandma and grandpa Gurney's. There are lots of reasons that I loved it but something that I looked forward to was seeing the horses in the fields. My grandparents were mink ranchers and had a little farm. I loved helping them in the sheds and seeing all the animals. Many of my fond childhood memories involve their farm.
Although they no longer farm, they rent their pastures out. My kids look forward to seeing the horses each time we go and love to feed them apples. They love to pet the horses. Easton is completely fearless around them. Madi holds back a little more but still loves to feed them and pet them. On this day, grandma had LOTS of apples to feed them.
Easton was ready to climb in with them. One of the horses nipped at him and he didn't even flinch. We had to keep pulling him back.
I love that they are able to have some of the same memories as I had at my grandma and grandpas. Of course, I got to ride the horses. Maybe someday they will be able to ride one too. :D
