"Shownee"

Ellie is a horse lover!!!  For as long as we've known her, she's aspired to be a Rodeo Queen, as well as a Barrel Racer!  She can tell you all about the different breeds, and what makes them unique.  She is confident and adventurous with horses, though cautious in a necessary way!  She's hooked! 

Anyways...When the opportunity to take in a horse, with just as much spit fire as our little Miss Ellie has...her mom and dad couldn't resist!!!  So...for Ellie's 5th birthday...she got the one thing she's wanted her whole life...her very own horse, "Shownee".  The timing couldn't have been more perfect, and the fact that Shownee and Ellie are the same age, and even more, share the same birthdate...is nothing less than fate!

Shownee has been a part of the family for almost 2 weeks now...and just today, our kiddos finally got to meet her!  Well, technically Kallen got to see Shownee with Ellie and Mindy a few days ago, but this is the first time he actually got to ride her!  The kiddos coudn't get enough!!!

It seems I've been repeating "We're not getting a horse" all night!!!
