Horse Crazy

I love Little House on the Prairie!  I was in grade school in the 1970’s and grew up watching Laura every Monday, channel 12 @ 7 p.m.  That type of T.V. doesn’t exist anymore.  Lessons of life, love, family, character, honesty, love of God  - my how T.V. has changed.   Thank the Lord for the Hallmark channel (and re-runs). 

I have many favorite episodes and many have made me cry (still do). The story of Laura’s horse has to be top of the list for me.  Did any of you watch Little House?  Do you remember how Laura sold her horse to Mr. Olson so she could buy her ma a stove for Christmas?  How about when Nelllie was mean to the horse and Laura stole it so Mrs. Olson couldn't destroy it?  Or, when Laura ran into the fence and her grandpa told her the horse would be o.k. and then pa had to shoot it.  “TEAR JERKER!” 

I do love horses.  My daughters each have one:  Peppy and Jack.  It was my hope that I could recreate for them the type of relationship Laura had with her horse.  I hope someday, when they are older and on their own, they can look back at the days when they were young and be thankful for the experiences they had living out here.
