Aiyana and her goal

Aiyana's been riding for years, and she's wanted her own horse for a long time. To have a horse is a huge commitment and expense, so Ed and I always said no. But she's been persistent, and recently we told her that if she wants to work towards this goal, and make it happen, we'll help her.

She and Sena did some research and put together a budget for the horse, what it would take to buy, feed and upkeep it, and now she's working for me and with her dog sitting service to get together the money she needs.

So we'll see how the whole horse thing goes. This is definitely a long-term goal for her, and hopefully one that will teach her some good life lessons.

Here she is harvesting eggplant for this week's sale. (Do you like the hat I knitted for her?)

Peace
