I've posted plenty about Ava loving horses, but I think we have passed the stage of Love and have moved to obsessed. Today is her riding day, and she is currently wearing her riding boots around the house waiting in anticipation for me to say "are you ready to get in the car." Her lesson is not until 2:00, which probably feels like next Tuesday for Ava.
When we are in public at the park or wherever Ava pretends to be a horse, after some stares from other parents I step up and explain to them what she is doing. For instance when she kicks one foot down throws her hair back and shakes her head she is either getting ready to burst out of a starting gate or jump some poles, which I must say she must study very hard when watching her horse shows (this includes the racing channel) because she looks exactly like a horse! Then she will stop and give you some very loud low sounding Neighhhhhhhsss!
Not only does Ava watch horse movies, she loves horse books, and catalogs! Her Mimi gave her a book on how to groom a horse, and this is one of Ava's favorites. She flips her horse over and uses my husband's screwdriver to pretend she is cleaning out the dirt on her horse's hoof, then she preceeds to take my hairbrush to comb her horse's hair.
