Saturday Horses -- Featuring Pony Ride Pete.

The neighbor girls wanted to ride Pete, so Laurie led them around out in the yard. Pete did good.
The girls loved it.

When Maddie lost sight of her buddy she got a bit worked up.

But Pete was cool.


He was calm and collected.

Shadow got lotsa loving.

Laurie with the girls' mom.



Eventually Maddie got her Pete back.

It may be that the girls wore him out. But they loved him for it.
