Stables Field Trip

Last week our play group visited Grace Riding Stables in George Town. The kids had a good time. They watched as the horse pictured below was fitted with shiny new shoes. Oooo Aaaaah! Natalie's in the white hoodie.

Natalie and a few other girls fell in love w/ the extra cuddly farm cats and dogs. Who knew there was another cat out there as docile as Donkey.
The farrier was really good w/the kids. He explained everything using technical terms and correct names of the horses anatomy for the older kids and then also explained it in very simple kid terms for the younger ones. He was really good at answering questions too. Any and all. ( :


This last horse was a rescue horse. She is/was pregnant and has been at this ranch trying to put some weight back on. They don't have very much history on her so they're not sure of her due date but thought she could have it at any moment. She was the only horse w/ special privelages. She was allowed to roam wherever she pleased. So she followed us all over the ranch and you would think a horse would be noisy enough to hear but she always sneeked up on us. She was very sweet and the kids fed her unlimited carrots. She also rec'd a very thorough brushing thanks to the kids too!
