Horses in the outfield.

We just had the perfect Mother's Day. It was a beautiful day and we took advantage of the weather and spent three hours grooming the horses. Then, we had a great dinner and went outside to play softball. We had some little kids in the game so we used soft wiffle balls.

The horses were interested in the game...I guess we must have been entertaining to watch. They watched us from the corral--all lined up by the gate.

Then, someone hit a ball into the corral and Maverick was quick to act. The ball landed near him and he picked it up and clamped down on it. He squished the ball and we had to pry it out of his mouth. One ball destroyed.

We continued the game and eventually another ball went into the corral. This time both Pharaoh and Tigger chased it down. Not wanting to lose another ball, someone ran into the corral and managed to get it before the horses did. Phew. One ball saved.

Who knew the horses liked softball? What's next? Horses catching frisbees? Horse rugby?

Sounds like a Disney movie! My girls would love it. Uncle Travis could be the voice of one of the horses, and Uncle Jeff could be the voice of some wry little rat who watches everyone and laughs!
