Happy Birthday Chev!

Yesterday was my baby horse's 7th birthday.  She is not a baby anymore.

I can hardly believe it.

I still remember leading her out of the auction yard as a 2 1/2 year old like it was yesterday...

What a lovely grown-up horse she has become.  As per tradition, she had birthday photos taken again this year.

Happy 7th Birthday, baby!  You've come a long way.

Enjoying her carrot-filled birthday grain bucket

Waited on hand-and-foot (or at least hand-watered) by her favorite person, the SO


A look back through the last 4 1/2 years!  Where it all began:

Chev, first week home, August 2007--2 1/2 years old

Showmanship clinic, February 2008

Out on pasture, she really filled out when she turned 3! May 2008

First trail ride, June 2008

Out on pasture at Marian's with Rhett, September 2008
Almost 4!  April 2009

August 2009--healed from her tendon injury and ready to start work again
 Under saddle again after 4 months off--August 2009
 Our second show!  May 2010
Summer 2010, fit and healthy!
