Horses

Here I am riding horses!! The all brown one was named Shorty and she belonged to my Aunt Carol. When I was about the age of the picture of me and my sister, Joan (on the ground) My aunt tried to teach me to ride so that I could enter a contest. I was able to do figure 8's and a few other things but I never did enter the contest. I guess I didn't get good enough! Carol had Shorty for a long time. These pix were taken on my grandparents farm. I remember there was a "hitching post" right outside of the door. My cousin Bruce and I used to play in the barn in the back of one of the pix here. I remember going inside and seeing all of the cows and the bulls that were at the far end. I think I even helped my grandpa milk the cows a few times.
