The newest addition to the Reed family....

Billy & I have been talking for a while about getting Raylee a horse. She LOVES to be outside and LOVES any kind of animal! There are several 4-H programs out here and we want her to be involved in something positive to fill her time when she gets older. I know that she is only 2 yrs old but we wanted to get her a little horse to ride and play with to get her use to them and to learn the dynamics. They have little rodeos in Puckett & Mendenhall that we are going to put her in when she gets comfortable with him. They seem to be a lot like adult rodeos but Billy or I can walk out with her and lead the horse around the arena.

Since we kind of stumbled across him and were not fully prepared to have him at our house yet he is staying at my brothers, hopefully they wont get to attached to him! I cant wait to go out there this weekend and spend some time with him! We will start our fence this week and decide what kind of barn we are going to build. I am so excited and cant wait to get him home!! He is a 3 year old miniature horse and I just LOVE his color!!!!!

Meet Lil' Man
Raylee Meeting Lil Man for the 1st time

She LOVES him!!! I wish I was able to take more pictures than this but this was the one I was able to take because the flash startled him. Oh boy does he have a lot to learn!!!
She got to pet, feed & ride him. She is just smitten with him! She called him Lil' Man a few times but then started calling him "Lucy", not sure why but it has stuck! Now I have started calling him Lucy. The old owner texted me today and she even referred to him as Lucy. Hopefully Raylee will change her mind and call him something else!!!!

you need to work on changing it to Louie or something close to Lucy.
I love him, I can't wait to bring Wyatt over to ride.

or maybe he'll be a trans-horse.
pink bows and everything
