Cantelloping

First- Let me start off by telling you the what a lope or gallop is.
It is a 3 beat gate where basically, to put it simple the horse is running. You can have a fast lope (run) or a slow lope (canter).

Tonight Dakota and I were talking about barrel racing. She asked me if Boston was a barrel racer and I told her yes. Then she said," I am a barrel racer, too." We talked about different horses that she barrel races on and then the topic came to BJ. BJ is a super big and super fast paint horse that we all rode when we were kids. I am sure some of you might remember him from back in the day. Anyways she told me....."Remember that time that BJ was cantelloping with me?" All I could do was laugh....then I called my mom, so she could share in the laughter. All I could think about was running fruit. I am sure, unless you know horses, it won't make sense to you, but I still chuckle when I think about it!

I thought I lost you!!!

Yesterday I had to help out at the saddle shop, so I took Oakley to my parents for a nap and some quality Grandma time. I laid him down for his nap and headed to the shop. When I got finished a couple of hours later I went to get Oak. As soon as I walked in the door, re ran to me screaming "Mommy, Mommy.....I thought I lost you!" He then gave me he biggest hug ever! It is moments like that that make me grateful to be a mother! I love it!
