Well...........

It would appear from this snapshot that Gracie isn't quite ready for the rodeo!!!!!

Either my choice of color was poor, the seat too hard or she just needs about six more months to grow into these big girl toys!:gar-Bi

Note. These were only tears I saw from her all day yesterday.

Between the sobs she's saying "but I wanted an iPad".

:rotflm::rotflm::rotflm: Gracie is precious and Ol' Hickory is a nice looking horse.

You do nice work, in both regards.

Merry Christmas,

When her legs grow a few inches longer so that she can rest her feet on the bottom peg, I think she will ride it all day long.

Wayne,

Your such a guy! :gar-La;

Can't you see she's not wearing her riding gear!

Why she is still in her Christmas Party suit ? And being photographed as well !

She will never be able to show her face in pre-school again

You horrible, horrible Granddad :rolf::rolf:

Not to worry, a couple of more months and she will put many miles on that pony. Nice project!
