Little Cow Girl

Much to the contentment of my Grandmother (who was a barrel races in her younger years), Anna's Grandpa (Jeff's dad) is going to make her a little cow girl.  She loves going to grandpa and grandma's.  She is always on the lookout for her favourite horse "Big Fellow".  She has already rode bare back in the farm yard with the help of her grandparents.  They have the cutest little child's saddle too! 

I can't remember how old she was when she took her first ride with Grandpa, probably a couple months or more.  She loves going to jack pots to watch Grandpa in action.  The best part is when he comes to the grandstand and reaches his arms out for her.  Off she goes a riddin'.  I've warned grandpa that if she wants to be a barrel racer he will have to sponsor her... she'll need a horse, a trailer, a truck, cute outfits, boots, hats etc.  Talk about an expensive sport!  She already has a horse specialist, as her Godmother, my sister in law, Janelle, is a equestrian massage therapist.  But for now...

She'll enjoy riding Buckaroo... supplied by her other grandpa and grandma as a Christmas gift.  My mom phoned Jeff's dad told him she bought the starter horse, he has to buy the real thing.
