Saturday morning we got up and headed to the Tennessee Agriculture Center for one of their free days in July. This was was all about horses and Ladybug is consumed with horses right now so I knew she would love it.
First off on the agenda was the bubbles that Janma had sent. They couldn't wait to play with their no spill bubbles.
Then off to the Ag Museum. The police had their police walking horses out on display for the kids to pet and sit on.
This one was Saber. Her handler had put 26 years into this job and is getting ready to retire and is hoping to take Saber with her.
She was a military horse before a police horse and is branded with the US on her side.
They did a short talk about their horses and what they do and situations they handled.
Then took the horses through some of the items they train on. You can see Saber walking on a see saw sort of platform.
And walking through the paper hanging down.
And playing with a ball.
Then we walked down the path to the little pond at the bottom.
Then another group brought their horses out for kids to pet and they also brought horses to take people on a buggy ride. Ladybug loved the horses and would have stayed pet them all day.
She is begging for a horse and I have had to repeatedly explain why it is not feasible to buy a horse and care for it. But I did tell her that once we get settled in Texas she can take horse back riding lessons.
We grabbed lunch afterward and then took Grandpa to the airport. Had a great week with him. The kids were sad to see him go and looked for him the next morning when they woke up.
