The gene passed on . . .

After I left Bloomington, I didn't ride again, other than a few interludes, until 2003. It was really my nieces, Natalie and Evelyn, who brought me back to horses. Eveylyn in particular, who seems to have inherited the "horse gene," wanted to learn to ride, and in the course of taking them for lessons I realized how much I missed everything horsey. This is Evy's 4th birthday party, which was attended by a pony. :-)
