I’m a bad horse mom.  Usually every year I think about Simon’s birthday in advance, write a post here on the exact date and plan a little horsey birthday party for him.  This year I knew it was approaching but totally slipped and I realized after the fact as we walked around the farm to cool out after our lesson. 

So without any pomp and circumstance, my buddy is nine years old.  I remember the first time I saw him all scrawny and gangly at six.  It doesn’t seem like three years ago, but so it is!

Like I do every year, I’m celebrating his birthday on the blog with one photo for every year of his life.  So here are nine of my favorite photos from the past year!



















Happy Birthday Simon!
