An Equine Celebration: Happy Birthday!

I'm almost 2 weeks late with this post, but you know what they say--"Better late...". I was invited to a birthday party for "Star", Janelle's horse. She is actually classified as a pony.


She is trying very hard to find the gift in this bucket--I think maybe it was carrots?


We, of course, had carrot cake, and Star thoroughly enjoyed her piece! She actually was quite good at getting the last crumb off that plate.
The kids really had a good time! (Kate, Kelsie, Luke, Taylor and Taylor).
I gave Star a card (and a carrot). I'm sure she was much more excited about the carrot, but as you can see, she's trying to act thrilled with the card as well. I had to sort of improvise on the card--it originally had a dog on the front. I replaced it with a horse. The inside said "Hope you get your hooves on lots of birthday goodies."
My hubby very patiently kept Star in tow with her harness and leash.


Enough of this party! She is having some hay and then heading out to enjoy the pasture.


The kids each had a horse shoe to paint. They were all very original. (Taylor S is a Colts fan, so his was a 'Colts' symbol.)


We enjoyed carrot cake and ice cream and a good time was had by all (including Star!).

Dear Donna, This gets the blue ribbon for one of the most unique posts you've done yet! Belated Happy Birthday to Star, by the way.

Your card was so very appropriate. What fun!
