"I've Never Seen a Horse"

Think back to the first time you saw a horse in real life (if you can - I can't!)  Do you remember how you felt? The awe, the joy, the surprise at the size, and more?

I discovered that a young man who goes to our church had never, ever seen a horse and invited him to come out and meet Abby.

This is him seeing a horse for the very first time in his life.

 

And this is me, enjoying showing him the horses.

When they came out to the barn they were still in church clothes, but they didn't mind the chance at getting a little dirty in order to see the herd.

He was so excited and took a lot of selfies with Sultanna.

She figured out real fast who was holding the carrot bag, too. 

Tim was working in the old barn and came out to visit for a while. (He loves to have folks come out and see the horses.)

It was a lovely evening and I was thrilled to introduce someone to his first horse. They were gentle and friendly - the perfect group of horses to meet when you have never seen one before.

(Many thanks to Craig who took all those photos for me.)
