Charlie loves kids

Charlie is super excited because a good family friend is in town. Savannah is 10 years old and has been coming to our place for a week in the summers with her grandma since she was a year old. She has always loved the horses and has moved up from my old pony Cookie to Slipper and now she gets to ride Charlie. Last year her and Charlie were the best of friends; she rode him all over by herself and did showmanship and spoiled him rotten. Keep in mind she rides once a year for a week.

 She got here this morning and wasted no time getting back in the saddle! Charlie and her picked right back up where they left off last summer and Charlie was pretty happy about the million treats he got afterward. He truly just loves kids and his whole demeanor changes around them. He just knows their little and he has to be careful and gentle. It's just another reason I love him ❤️ 

Here is Charlie and his buddy Savannah. 

Savannah even took another horse for a spin today after Charlie: my 2yo filly Ella (Slipper's first foal). I love having a 2yo quiet enough that I trust them with such precious cargo. And Charlie was kindly willing to share his little friend with Ella :)
