His parents were realizing that this fascination with horses wasn't just a brief phase, and so they decided that this would be the Christmas that my newest 9-year-old ranch friend would get workboots and a book on taking care of horses.
I had the honor of helping him break in his boots today as he visited the ranch for the first time to meet the horses. He proudly told me how those boots were meant for doing work around the barn, so it was okay if they got dirty.
My favorite moment, though, was when he told me about the horse care book that his folks had picked out for him. "I got a book called Horses for Dummies," he told me, "but I wasn't offended by the title at all!"
You gotta love that kind of attitude! I think this kid will go far. :o)
