birthday boy

 Usually I torment love my horse by making him wear his birthday hat. But this year I kept it simple.

hiding from the hat

apples and carrot deliciousness

new boots!

can we go already?

Apples. Carrots. A clean saddle, new stirrup leathers and new hoof boots (oh wait, that's for me). Grass. A ride to the lake. Splashing! A stick! Birthday apple! Mash. Alfalfa.

last bite before we go, I promise

just splashing with my buddy

found a stick in the water!

stick! splashing with the stick! stick!

sadness and a broken stick

Major was just glad I didn't make him wear the hat. And that he got a very special apple from my friend C!

I bit the candle to turn it off. But I'm ok. The apple was yummy!

mash and special alfalfa dinner, oh boy!

Happy 13th birthday buddy. Here's to many more.
