Obviously Ben is out in Kansas visiting “Cowboy Grandpa,” and part of having a grandpa that is a true to life cowboy, is horses.  And yep, Ben got to ride a horse today.

Of course he has no idea of how often he will be able to do this in life, as my wife grew up on a ranch and all of them are pretty horse-savvy.  No, not like the Sarah Jessica Parker kind, but the better looking kind, like Trigger, Mr. Ed, and Secretariat.  Horses were a big part of their upbringing and their dad, “Cowboy Grandpa,” still rides them.

I can hardly imagine how proud my father-in-law must be……and what a villain my wife must have been for taking him off that horse (if she didn’t have Steph do it.)  It is not his first ride, because he does not remember, nor will it be his last.  My only regret is that he was not wearing his “real” cowboy hat that his grandma (Nanny) bought him, because Steph and I made sure it went with him on the trip.

So please enjoy the picture like I am.  Lord knows what this boy will turn out to be, but as for today he was a cowboy……and on a real horse.

I just wish I was there to see it!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
