Horse Update

Alice got a new horse and the three horses got a new home. She was able to lease a 3-acre pasture that belongs to a gated community (in the background of picture 3) near the Temple. Picture 1: The pasture has a pond in the middle that is spring-fed, so the horses will have water all year round. Picture 2: This is a view of the pasture from the northwest corner -- which is the highest spot. Picture 3: Legend and Beauty running free in their new home. Movie 1: Alice's new horse, Misty, is a Tennessee Walker mare -- about 7 years old. (Notice that her gait is so smooth that Alice doesn't even bounce.) Alice bought her so that the grandkids or kids in the ward can ride with her. Currently, Nikki Searle, a Laurel in the ward, is Alice's riding buddy. Movie 2: Beauty is still Alice's riding horse.
