"flying Ace"

Our good friend Nancy (Shannon and Liam's momma) asked if we could help her trailer a horse that they found for Shannon, (Sarah's wonderful pal!) back to NH. The previous owner of "Ace" lives in Mass. down near Cape Cod, so we headed down to get him and bring him to his new home! Here are the girls all ready to go..! Ace's owner was looking for a good home for him and I think she did a good job of that. Shannon is going to be a great little horse owner! Sarah and Shannon are posing in front of the good lookin' rig we had to use.
On our way! Shannon is not excited or anything, is she?!

We made it! Here is Ace getting all fixed up for the trip by his previous owner.



While Ace was getting all wrapped for the trip Eric patted this little guy.. Eric's favorite kind of horse!! This mini was sooo tiny.. (compare to the dog on the left... !)

We made a pit-stop.. bathroom for us and water for Ace.. it was sooo hot outside! It was 97 degrees!






Ace is home! Here are the girls and the sign they made that says "welcome home Ace!".







Shannie and her long awaited horse! It was worth the wait Shan! Ace is so sweet!

Looks like fun! The heat was ridiculous wasn't it? Yuck! I love Sarah's new hair cut! She looks so much older!
