Cheyenne

Meet the newest addition to our house - Cheyenne the Wonder Horse...

Cheyenne was probably one of Mat's favorite toys when he was a kid.  I can't even imagine the number of hours he spent in his cowboy boots and hat riding Cheyenne.  His mom and Jim got her all fixed up for Madeline, so we brought it home this weekend.  Of course, Maddie is a ways away from being able to ride her without some help, but she was definitely intrigued by her new toy.  As soon as Nana put her on it, she leaned forward and grabbed the handles like a natural...

 

Notice the camouflage socks that she happened to have on that day and the pink bandanna that Mat picked up at Tractor Supply on the way home to put on the horse...

I'm sure she'll have run riding Cheyenne someday, but it better not inspire her to want a horse as this is the closest that she's ever going to get :)
