Do you like Horses?....by Jessica

There used to be someone we knew who didn't have all her screws tightened up and she would call the house sometimes just to chat.  Zack would try and unload her to me..."Jessica is right here, did you want to talk to her?" but noo...sometimes she would just want to chat with him.  One day, the conversation went like this.

Her: Do you like cats?
Him: No.
Her: Do you like dogs?
Him: No.
Her: Do you like bunnies?
Him: No.
Her: Do you like horses?
Him: Ummm yeah.  Horses are okay.

So sometimes, every once in a while, out of the blue, we ask each other: Do you like horses?

Anya loves horses.  And then I took her on a Pony Adventure at the Mark West Stables in Santa Rosa and she thinks that maybe she doesn't love horses as much as she thought.  Why?  Horse stables have a lot of poop on the ground which means lots of flies.  They also had the kids mix up the horses wheat germ food and water with their hands (the other kids thought that was cool) but it grossed Anya out.

The actual horse back riding was fun, but I think she would only really get into horse back riding if she was a rich little girl who had a stable hand to shoo away the flies and an unlimited allowance for super cute riding boots that matched her little equestrian blazer.  She might be okay with doing the fun stuff like brushing the horse and decorating the harness with flowers before taking it on a leisurely little walk around a manicured rose garden but anything other than that might be pushing it.

All joking aside, the Pony Adventure at the Mark West Stables is an awesome experience.  It was 2 hours of brushing, petting, feeding, walking and riding all for the Groupon price of $15!  But it's only $30 without a Groupon and it's totally worth that price.
