As in, home to my suburban neighborhood where horses are against the zoning. And I didn't tell my husband what I was doing. Hehe.
I have family visiting from South Africa for a couple weeks, and they wanted to meet Penn. I had Penn out this past weekend for a trip that went sideways, so I found myself with extra time on Sunday. I had the horse out, free time, so I brought him to my house! My parents brought the family over, and we had a meet and greet in the front yard!

My horse brings all my neighbors to the yard... wait, is that not how the song goes?
Also, I have an abundance of older neighbors and very few children neighbors... not one child came to see Penn!
Everyone was THRILLED to meet him and he even talked one family out of several pounds of carrots. |

Nomming the never-been-nommed-before grass.
Don't worry blogland, Husband and I don't treat our grass with any chemicals or fertilizer, and neither do our direct neighbors, Penn was safe! |

Penn should be an equine model, in my front yard of never been grazed grass.
Seriously, how do I sign him up to be a paid model? |
 |
| Mom held on to him while I got him a bucket of water and shuffled things from the truck to the house. He always kept an eye on me and made sure he knew where I was. He tried numerous times to leave her to come over to me. So cute. |

| Dogs barking? |
 |
| "Mom, I'm coming to see you because this place is weird." |
I have to say, I'm pretty stoked. I fulfilled a childhood dream of bringing a horse home to eat my yard. Oh, and no one called the police to tell me Penn wasn't allowed to be there, hahaha!

| I luvs him. |
Hahaha that's awesome. When I picked up my first two Andalusians we made a pit stop at my childhood home (where my mom still lived at the time) for a water and fan break for the horses... But we'd had enough trouble getting them loaded that I didn't take them off 😂 Penn looks pretty excited about all that grass!
ReplyDeleteI could only do this because Penn loads and unloads like a champ, and he's a pretty chill dude. Suburban life has a lot of not horse friendly sounds and happenings!
DeleteLove it! Pig and I stopped once at my grandmother's on the way home from a show. All the neighbors showed up and it was a whole big thing. So fun!
ReplyDeleteMy neighbors LOVED it. I told one I was afraid someone would call the police, she said if that happened, she'd punch whoever it was in the face hahaha
DeleteAw that’s freakin adorable!! We ended up driving Bella directly through the center of Baltimore (incidentally right past my house) bc of a shut down highway last month and.... it was decidedly less cute lol. And no we did not stop for the neighborhood children to say hi. Still tho, what fun!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I remember when I first started hauling, and it was my first time with two horses... I accidentally drove one of the more busy highways directly into Pittsburgh, over bridges and through tunnels and traffic moving 75 mph and I was like, I'm doing 55. That sounds awful!
DeleteThis is so amazing!! Looks like he enjoyed the attention and what a good boy for letting you tell him it would all be ok :)
ReplyDeleteHe loved the attention. He was kind of like, "Where am I?" and while he grazed, he spent a lot of time looking around and watching for me. I'm so very lucky that he looks to me for if he should be afraid or not! It means I can do fun things like this!
DeleteOMG That is probably every horse girl's DREAM!
ReplyDeleteYes!!!! Absolutely. I have dreamed of having a horse graze that front lawn, and it must mean I'm secretly 12 inside!
DeleteLife achievement: unlocked. Love that your neighbors were so into it!
ReplyDeleteYes! I was worried but come on, who can resist Penn?!
