Hotshot Is Home

Well, yesterday we took a trip, east and picked up HotShot.  He is a cute gelding paint that my daughter saved her money to buy.  He is finally home and adjusting well.  Abbie is in love.  I think she has brushed him twice each day he's been here.  He will not lack for attention.

I must say that this turned out to be an excellent homeschool lesson on stewardship, responsability, frugality, diligence and obedience.  Abbie has demonstrated discipline in saving for three years for this moment.  I was very proud to watch her as she handed over the money for some brushes and a halter, then to pay for the horse.  She even has some left over.  So, here is a picture of Hotshot.
