Meeting Sparkler

Today I got to hang out with an old friend, and meet a new one! Alison and I have been friends since we were seven...and today, she introduced me to Sparkler, her beautiful mare! Sparkler gets to roam around the gorgeous California foothills with a herd of other horse buddies. After I met her, I learned how to direct her on foot, and even got to ride her bareback! Two things that make me incredibly happy are animals and being outdoors, so this was amazing. Thanks for an awesome afternoon, Alison and Sparkler!



There's Sparkler, waiting patiently by the gate!

Alison gives Sparkler some exercise.

There were just bunches of adorable, friendly dogs roaming around the pastures. This fluffy little guy was one of them!

Friends!





Alert!

Treats!

Roaming free.



Seventeen years later, and I guess we're all grown up!

Another awesome dog! He was so good at playing fetch...super athletic.














High fashion horse butts.

California oaks!


Bye, Sparkler!
