Abby and her friends met up at Hidden K Stables in Pfafftown for lots of horsing around.
Abby was quite proud of her cake. I heard all about it at the football game on Saturday. At the party she must have repeated the following about 20 times, "Mom! I want Mandy's head!" Mandy is the horse she's riding in the photo scanned on the cake.
I loved this little Blue Heeler, named Blue. He's such a devoted doggie - I don't think he took his eyes off of his owner for more than 30 seconds. He's demonstrating full eyeball lockdown below.
The kids on the fence at the stables. Some had already left, but these are the ones who stuck it out to the end: Clark, Katherine, Audrey, Abby, Maggie, Wolfgang and Max.
The final activity of the day was the offering of a "treat" to the horses. Maria whipped up a special concoction, that horses obviously love because they became quite feisty when the feeding first began. We saw lots of huge horse teeth!
Below, Audrey is feeding the horses while Abby and Katherine look on.
I was impressed with all the kids - everyone rode at least once. One of the girls was noticeably terrified, and when she first started around the ring, her mom asked, "Honey, are you breathing?!" She said yes quite unconvincingly, but she relaxed after a few times around the arena.
As a whole I think the party was a huge success!

Looks like you had fun! I love the Blue Heeler, too. Those dogs are supposedly fantastic.
Felton would've LOVED riding the horses. Kids are so cute with them. Abby looks right at home, does she ride much?
Abby rides regularly - she takes a lesson once a month and goes to "horse camp" in the summer. She is obsessed with horses. The pony she's on, Mandy, was hers (on lease) but the owner is reclaiming her. Maria spun a believable story so Abby isn't completely aware of what's going on, but she won't be able to ride Mandy anymore. But Abby will continue lessons.
Yee-Haw!!!
