Woodington Farms

Last Monday we took the kids to meet the Pat and Cindy Woodington. They are the nicest retired couple who we've become friends with just recently. They have a Thoroughbred estate where they breed and race horses. Just a month ago they had two new babies born and I was so excited to show them to my kids! I was amazed how little fear the twins had for these large animals. How interested Hunter was in the day to day aspects of raising horses and living on a farm. He even offered to work for them this summer cleaning stables! Montana just seemed like she was at home in the wide open spaces. But mostly, I was amazed at how my little Lexus took to them. Something in her eyes changed- a new passion- horses. Watching her sit on the fence and talking to them gave me the realization that if I hadn't been there, she probably would have been in the pasture trying to ride them! As a mother, I truly appreciate what country life offers and the peace it brings. We had such a great time and hope it can become a part of our life. (We made on offer to purchase the 14 acre alfalfa field they are selling.) Just look at the scenery- it's beautiful!
