Highlights of visiting Phelps County, Nebraska always include riding the Gator in the pasture to check on Great-Aunt Diane's cows . . .
. . . collecting eggs and petting new kittens on Great-Aunt Leann's farm . . .
. . . and, a new highlight for Julia, riding Great-Uncle Tim's horses. Julia and Evelyn sat on the coral fence, waiting for the horses to get bridled and saddled.
Julia received a quick tutorial on where to hold on and how to steer Buster . . .
. . . and then they were off! After being led around the coral, the girls were ready to ride the horses completely on their own. Julia rode Buster, and Evelyn rode Duke. In addition to being working horses in the pasture (checking on and rounding up cattle), these guys are also used to giving rides to new riders. This was a major highlight of the summer for Julia - she has been asking for months to ride a horse. What better place than on a Nebraska farm?
