Are little girls simply born with a love for horses?  This is my granddaughter, Karleen, at age two, totally enamored with her first 'real' horse... one that wasn't softly stuffed.  I've been hooked on horses as long as I can remember and so have my twin daughters.  My son didn't get the horsey gene... he trusted a dirt bike more than a large four-legged animal with a mind of its' own!

This little guy was hamming it up out at the playground early this spring when the weather was still pretty chilly. I just could not resist him!
