And then there were horses...
Mrs. TigerHawk and the Daughter go to a lot of horse events, and I occasionally drop in for the action sequences. Today, though, I tagged along in all my cluelessness for the entire ten hour extravaganza (including the gathering of the horses and the tack and related equipment, which is no mean feat). The Daughter competed in the Hunterdon Hills Pony Club "Shaggy Horse Show" at the Mercer County Equestrian Center.
We are on our way. Jack Frost is always skeptical in his first few moments on the trailer:
A hundred pound girl cannot actual force a thousand pound horse to do anything, even move over...
Warming up...
Jumping Shiloh!
...and jumping...
...and jumping!
Like daughter, like mother!
The champions!
The proud father TigerHawk!

Congratulations to your Daughter. Looks like one fine little horse she's got there. The two of them are obviously growing up together and working as quite a team.

, atEvery time I drive down Federal City Road I pass by that facility and wonder if it is ever used. So, I'm delighted to see my Mercer County taxes are being used to entertain such a beautiful horse! Your daughter looks like she's having a great time too. Life is good.
