A Horse for a Penny



The weather has been horrible down here in Arkansas for the past week. The rain finally let up today, so I was eager to go outside today after being cooped up inside for so long. I had just gotten my boots on (I don't want my flats to get dirty, now do I?) when MGL tells me to come outside quickly as she has a surprise for me. I figured that her surprise was going to be work for me to do so I was walking toward the door very slowly. I was quite stunned when what I saw wasn't a job for me to do, but this beauty of a horse-

 She was amazing and MGL told me that she was all mine. I 'm still not sure why MGL all of a sudden offered her up to me all of a sudden, but I don't really care that much. I have wanted a horse for a while and this was a huge surprise.

 I slowly approached her so she wouldn't get scared. After a bit of coaxing and a boost up from MGL I was in the saddle.

 It was a little scary being perched on her at first but I got used to it right off. It was even kind of fun.

I rode around on her for a little bit before I put her up. I was informed by MGL that the mare's name is Penny, but I felt that the name was too common so I have decided to call her Penelope. Penelope is a very pretty name for a very pretty horse. I guess I should thank MGL for getting me Penelope, but I probably won't ever get around to it.
