Hey guys!
I'm real sorry that I haven't posted for a while, but it's been crazy around here! 

Mom said that today was a special day, and it must have been because the whole family stayed home all day long!  At first I thought Mom was just talking about me getting older, but then she told me about Memorial Day. She said it was a day when we all should be thankful for those who served our country to protect the freedoms that we all cherish. And boy am I thankful I get to run and play in the grass all day long!

Mom even said several of my great great great grandfathers knew of horses that fought for our country too. And still today the horses of the "Old Guard" participate in the special ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery. I found some great information about Memorial day here: A Memorial Day Thank You to the Men, Women and Animals  Who Have Served

It's about my bed time so I will have to go. Thank you SO much to everybody who has served our country!

What a wonderful day it was! 

First of all last night those girls put this jingly thing on my head. It matches mom's, but I can't get a hold of it like I can her's! 

This morning I woke up and mom got a pedicure. The man was really nice and even petted me on the head, I made a new friend! One day when I get older mom said I would get to have my feet trimmed too, but I have to stand really still. Trouble is right now, I have enough energy for FOUR whole horses, so she said we are going to have to work on that! 

I have gotten tall enough now that I can reach the big kid bucket and even peer out of the stall! My girls said something about putting a brick on my head, but with this "haultur" on I can't balance anything else! I just keep getting taller and stronger everyday! Running across the field sure has helped out during my daily workouts!

Gotta Run!

Hey Y'all! 

My girls keep talking about this Muhders Day thing and saying that they have to make sure that their mom has the best day to show her how much they luhve her! Well I think my momma is the BEST!! Yeah, she pushes me around in the field and doesn't let me run all alone but she just doesn't want me to have all the fun by myself!! I've been thinking about what to give her and practiced all day learning how to give her a hug. So tomorrow I am gonna rear up and give momma a BIG ole hug right around the neck! What present could be better?!? 

Hug your Muhders!

Hey guys! 

My names Hank ... or so they tell me! These people are really nice, but boy do they pick on me when I get to nibbling on their arms every time they start-a-scratchin' on me! 

Bout a week ago all I knew were these four solid walls, a fluffy bed of straw and my very own water bucket to play in! But about 4 days ago they pushed me into this real big stall - and mom says I can even run when I'm in there!! 

But wait! It get's SO much better just a few days ago my two girls (mom let's them babysit me while she eats dinner) they pushed me outta that biggest stall and boy did my feet get wet! They called it "muhd" but boy it was sticky! Mom showed me around this big green field and we ran and played all afternoon long! 

Anyways its just about nap time and I need to rest up before my girls come play with me!
