Heaven is high and earth wide. If you ride three feet higher above the ground than other men, you will know what that means.~Rudolf C. Binding

Somewhere in time's own space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some paradise where horses go
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again.

what a sweet post...your girls look they are having such a good time riding...please tell them that i think they are very brave...i am terrified of horses...someone took me riding once, and i whimpered the whole time with my eyes squeezed tightly shut...
How precious is that. What a great lesson in life.

So little, the girls, and so big, the horse...nover thought about that when I was a little girl riding. My Mom must have though.:-)

Precious. I spent hours on the farm growing up on a horse. It must have driven my city slicker mother nuts!
Great pics!
Have a wonderfully blessed weekend makin' memories!!!
When are you starting your riding lessons, Chas?
yeah i know...it's on my to do list~
i plan on it in the spring. really.
Oh sweetie!
I so love this post. She looks so tiny but mighty next to that big horse. I think it is wonderful for her to be learning about horse riding. Maybe she will become a famous jumper. Olympics? You never know, but given the opportunity anything is possible.
Thanks for sharing today. Please pop over and say hi. I would love to share my pink post with you.
Country hugs and love, Sherry
my stepdad raises horses...they're so beautiful. you're kids are enjoying it i'm sure :D the pictures are great
What a lovely post, Chas! I grew up riding horses, and this really strikes home with me. I love them SO much, and I think some of the best hours of childhood were spent on horseback. Girls who ride gain self confidence, and it is one of the greatest pleasures on earth. Loved every last one of your quotes.
Love to all of you...

Hello,
I haven't been over for a bit and was enjoy the pictures of the girls taking their riding lessons...then I was daydreaming looking at your country roads pictures....just lovely....then read about your sister and can only imagine what you are all going through emotionally. You can count on me to say prayers for your family! I am very close with my sisters and can only imagine what you are feeling. My heart goes out to you!
God Bless You ALL!!!
Hugs, Nancy

Loved all the pictures~ I bet your girls love those horses and lessons!
The quotes with the photos I really enjoy. You matched them perfectly. ANd boy to rise a horse. I had that experience when I was young. Now, I think I'm scared LOL I know, I'm a scare-dy cat.
I also love the back roads and finding one's way home. There will always be that way, the unknown one, the place where unexpected things happen :-)
You have beautiful scenery close to home.

It raised my spirits to see my grand daughters enjoying something that I grew up thinking everyone did. Now I see what a wonderful childhood I was blessed with. I love you,
