OFF TO SCHOOL

 Our little Eadie is all grown up now .... 
yesterday she left my mums paddock for "finishing school" for about five weeks where she will be broken in and return a rideable horse .....

 I was a little worried when my husband first told me this was going to happen ....
(I actually know zero about horses, Mark on the other hand grew up in the country surrounded by them) 
but he assures me "her school" will be very kind and loving and she will return an even better horse .....

 Eadie is the first horse I have ever really had much to do with, she is so beautiful and funny .....
she gives kisses, loves people, takes off your hat if you are wearing one, is best friends with my mums dog (they run around and play together all the time) and adores kids  ......

 as soon as she sees you she will canter up (so fast) for a pat and a cuddle .....
she follows the postman all the way up the lane when he delivers the mail (he now brings her a daily carrot)  
and all the neighbors love her .... 

 ..... oh and she smells so good !!!


 She had a lovely wash before she left .....





 all fresh and clean for her first big day of school .....


 ...... we will miss our beautiful girl !!!

Oh she's just lovely! And I love her name too ... I have had nought to do with horses in my lifetime - other than the odd encounter at a farm or walking past the agistments around my town... I do love them though. Always thought of them as very graceful and very knowing. I wish Eadie well on her new adventure and I'm sure she'll be well spoilt with love when she returns!
Have a super day!

She's got such a pretty face with her white markings! I know absolutely nothing about horses and would probably be afraid at first if she trotted up to me, but it's so cool that your mum has this lovely animal.
