Another rider in the family


Kennedy has been riding Chocolate almost since she moved to Puerto Rico. Originally she rode with her abuela Elaine but now she prefers the saddle to herself. And she likes to go fast! She prefers to ride on the beach (just like her abuela) but if the back pasture is all she can get, well, that's good enough.

Kennedy and Chocolate have a very special relationship. He knows when she's around. She can do just about anything around that horse and he just stands there, not moving, not even flicking his tail. When Kennedy was a bit smaller, she would run right underneath Chocolate's belly. (She still does it once in a while but she has to duck now.) She will run right up to him and hug his legs; he doesn't even flinch because he knows it's her, his little person. It truly is amazing and wonderful to watch those two together. It's gonna be even more fun as she grows up with him.
