A few weeks ago we went to a playdate at a small horse farm not far from Des Moines. It was any preschooler's dream, especially for a kid like Jackson. When we pulled up we immediately saw a HUGE 2 story tree house, a swing set, a wooden train, a trampoline, about a dozen trikes and ride on toys, and animals galore! The woman that owns the farm was incredibly kind and amazing with the kids. The kids got to help brush a very handsome pony named Willie and got to go for a ride on THE sweetest pony cross named Emma.
I wasn't sure what Jackson would think about riding a horse for the first time but he was so very excited and once he was up on Emma he loved it. He got to walk around the barn and even do a little obstacle course with traffic cones. I wish I knew someone with a kid safe horse that he could ride occasionally. The farm also had a good ol' farm dog and two six week old kittens that ALL the kids were completely obsessed with. We had such a great time there and Jackson talked about it every day for over a week after we were there. They are going to start hosting birthday parties there and I think maybe we'll have Jackson's birthday there next year.
