Life in the Johnson Household

[spirithorse21]

Health has not been the only change around this household. Perhaps the biggest news is that Jeremy finally got a new job! He left Liberty Mutual almost three weeks ago and is now working for Eli Lilly, Indianapolis's largest employer. For those that aren't familiar with Lilly, it is a large drug company, and while everyone may have very mixed

Who knew these little monkeys would be *so* fun (sometimes ;))

[spirithorse21]

I know, right? They are awfully fun (most of the time).

Congratulations to Jeremy, that's great!

Samuel is quite the little cutie. :)

Thanks on all accounts!

I've seen a few photos on mule communities of people riding out with a mini kids' saddle that sits behind the main saddle. They look pretty fun, although I'm not sure if I'd ever use one myself! I'd worry about being unable to grab the kid quickly if the horse stumbled or spooked.

So cool to hear how much Samuel likes horses and horse riding. :)

Those seat things terrify me. They are soft, with very little form to them, they are attached to the saddle by just a few straps, and they sit right over the kidneys of the horse. I just imagine everything that can go wrong there and I shudder. We usually ride bareback, and that has been going very well. I just wasn't brave enough to go bareback on our first off-property trail ride. It went perfectly though, so next time I will go bareback with just a pad like you see in that bareback riding photo.
