Ponies!

Aragorn saw an ad on Craiglist for a couple of ponies... free!

Here we have Old Dan in the back and Gemisina (Gemma).
Old Dan is a Sheland Pony and Miniature Horse cross.
Gemma is a Welsh and Arabian cross.

Here are the children eagerly waiting to get into the pony pen.

Both ponies are so calm.

Sam and Ol' Dan.

They really are lovely ponies!

Pippin on Old Dan.

Galadriel eagerly gets the first ride. Horses are her favorite animal.

Frodo takes a ride.

As I walked back to the house with Bilbo on my back and Pippin in a stroller I couldn't resist a picture of this gorgeous sunset!
