Cherokee

We won the Showmanship Award in 4-H. I showed sheep, hogs, rabbits and horses and my favorite was horses with sheep being a close second!
Giving a young friend a ride. Candy was the daughter of a dear friend of my mom’s.
These last pictures were taken at Lake Yenrougis by my high school science and photography teacher, Bud Seip. He also photographed my wedding!

Every girl should have a horse! I’m sure I’ve shared a picture or two of this old man before but I came across these pictures again and had to share. The first two were of Cherokee before we got him and I love that I have them now! I was around 10 when he came to live with us and I had wanted him for oh so long. When the girl who owned him decided to sell him as she was going away to college my dad and mom surprised me with him. And he was my best friend from that point on! I loved him dearly and still miss him after all these years. There’s nothing like the friendship of a good horse.
