We love weekends and the opportunity to spend time together as a family. We were hanging out in the pasture yesterday afternoon when something caught Ellsworth’s attention.
Someone’s coming.
It’s our very nice neighbors. Ellsworth is so excited, but Bernard decides to hang back with Mom.
We see our neighbors out riding quite often, but this is the first time we’ve really stopped to chat. After Mom proudly introduces us to them, they share a story.
“Bernard and Ellsworth are so cute! They’re such characters. One day as we were riding by, we saw Bernard pick up that five gallon bucket and start beating Ellsworth with it!”
Bernard!
We can totally see Ellsworth out on a Sunday afternoon trail ride with the big dogs horses one day soon.

I think for poor Ellsworth’s sake, you need to find some cones for them to play with and leave the buckets alone!!

Ellsworth looks so BIG next to Bernard and so small next to the horse. It is wonderful seeing E so happy – y’all are excellent parents!!

Bernard! You better watch it – PETA or CYFD or somebody might throw mom and dad in jail if you keep it up.

Wow – you got some great shots. That first picture with the rays of sunshine is gorgeous. And that last one of Ellworth adoring his new horse friends just makes me go “awwwwwww”!! 🙂
Isn’t making new friends fun? And I *love* the weekends…

Oh Bernard, you naughty boy. You’d better behave from now on or else your horse friends will spill the beans to your Mom. Are you all right, Ellsworth?

Boys, that’s what happens in small, horsey neighborhoods—-other equine’s moms tell on you. Bernard, be nice to your brother!
