Our little guy is positively obsessed with all things horses. Throughout the past year, we’ve thrown around the idea that putting him in horse lessons would be a really great thing for him. A chance to be able to succeed at something… to get away from normal and just be a kid and have fun.
So, we’ve been to two lessons now, and he is loving it. When he gets out there in the country and interacts with these giant creatures, he comes alive. It’s really fun to see him interact with his horse, Lily. We really hope that he will find in her a silent listener to connect with… and begin to make sense of his first six crazy years of life.
It will be interesting to see how this shapes his future and how big a part of his life horses may actually end up being.
I love how Deondre’s penchant for holding leads is on display in the last picture.
These may be my favorite pictures you have ever taken. Love that little boy and his love for horses. And love how y’all have embraced it.
You took the words right out of my mouth. They touch the soul.
My heart is swelling with emotions…these photos bring pure joy to me. I pray with all my heart the Lord uses this horse in a might way in Deondre’s life! Thanks for sharing.
