Yesterday, Evelyn wasn’t feeling herself and Kate was fast asleep, leaving only Claire to accompany me on my daily visit to the horses.

Despite her size and being at the tender age of two, she is determined to help where she can. After we put the horses in their stalls, in a commanding voice, she reminded me several times of their names:

“Dancer! Stoney!“
We divvied out the hay and grain, picked manure from the stalls and swept. While waiting for the vet to come and write out their health papers before their next cross-country trip, we brushed our equine friends and shared treats.

It was wonderful to spend one-on-one time with my daughter doing something we both love: chores for our horses.
Thanks for the help, Claire!
