  5. Gorgeous, Kate! These could be picture postcards or part of a travel brochure--we don't have anything like this in the Midwest! I'm ready to saddle up and come for a visit...except I don't ride horses:)

  9. Hey, M;
    Yes they are tall... I need a step ladder to get on Bella. But, I think it might have been hard to hike through those flowers. At some points they were as high as the horse's tummy!
