They both learned their colors from saddle cloths in the post parade. My oldest learned her number recognition from the racing form (pony papers as she calls them) and we are working on her reading skills by attempting horse names in the form.

They both fight over who gets to go with Daddy to bet. They come right up to the machines with me. They get to push the print button, return voucher button, grab the tickets and are thrilled.

Horses are a huge part of their life and they get to experience a lot more than other kids their age.

LOL Bigs....the perfect Dad.
