This past weekend the girls and I have been spoiled by getting to hang out with some family friends from my hometown in Enumclaw, WA. They are here for the Arabian Horse show in Scottsdale. We watched Missy (pictured below) ride and place in the top ten of her class! We are so proud of her.
Here is one of their barns at the show. It is a totally new world to me and it was fun to meet the trainers, groomers, see the dressing rooms and watch some amazing competitions. There are 2,400 horses at the show and they come from all over the world. Karen was telling me that each horse has 4-5 people that come with it. SO that is about 10,000 people that move into Scottsdale for 2 weeks in February!
I love Reese's expression in this picture. She was enthralled.
Karen is so great with the girls and they just love her. She even let Kylie help drive the golf cart!
I used to babysit Missy and now it's so fun to see her in her element. The next day Kylie wore her "western boots" (the correct term that Missy taught her) not cowgirls boots.
"Hold me mom!!"
