Nina

Alexa loves horses and she especially loved Nina. Nina lives at my Mom and Val's house in Burley and she is technically Brads horse she is huge, fast and Beautiful! Alexa totally claims Nina as hers! This is Sunday August 16 and Alexa was learning how to lead Nina all by her self and she was in Heaven! I am sad to say that Alexa was the last person to EVER get to ride Nina as she passed away on Sunday August 23rd. Nina was only 20 years old and was a great horse! My Parents think that she twisted her stomach and that is was caused her death. My mom called me to tell me that Nina was dead and then I had the horrible job of telling Alexa that her horse was dead! She was so upset, she cried and wanted to know when Nina was going to come back! It was a SAD DAY! Good bye Nina We LOVED YOU!!!

Alexa and Grandpa Patterson going out to the "FARM" so that Alexa could ride Nina. Alexa thinks that once you pass the Electric Fence you are on the farm but really it is just my parents back yard. It is 5 acres but it is not the farm! The farm further away!

Alexa and Nina! Doesn't she look like a Natural up there!!

Alexa trying to let Nina know who was boss!

Grandpa just has to walk in the arena and Nina would follow him. He never actually had to hold on to the reigns. So really Alexa was doing it all by herself!
