We got 18 pounds of apples - they are delicious!
One of Tony's friends lives in a gated community in Eastern Long Island. It is part of a horse farm that rescues battered thoroughbred horses. He invited us to come and see them. Someday we will have enough land for a horse for me, but for now, this was a great opportunity! We took our friend's daughter Amy with us - she loves horses just as much as I do.
There were about seven horses altogether at this farm, but Tony took pictures of me with this horse, because I fell in love! We brought carrots to feed the horses, and this one was very communicative! He tapped his hoof on the gate of the corral, and I was told that I could go in. Well, I didn't need another invitation! I went into the corral, and the horse got so excited! He did everything he could to tell me that he wanted to take me for a ride. He butted up against me, walked next to me at the right angle for me to climb right on, and when I didn't get on him, he did it again at least three times. He was adorable! Unfortunately, I had foot surgery a month ago, so I couldn't even if I was given permission to.
We were told that these horses are up for adoption, so if/when the time ever comes that we get a plot of land large enough for a horse, I am definitely there!

The apples look delicious, but I have to ask, what are you going to do with 18 lbs. of apples?
Sounds like a great time at the horse farm. What's with the foot surgery, though?
Oh, it sounds like you had a wonderful time. The land looks beautiful!
You are on a roll with the blogging! I love it! Keep it coming!
Are you doing your apple pie filling this week? You are so busy I'm sure ... 18lbs!
What a fun way to spend a school break! Sounds like you all really enjoyed yourselves. Wonderful post and great pictures!
Yum. Apples.
Oh, how I know Noelle and I are jealous. We both would be on top of that horse in no time at all.
