I imagine you holding out a sugar cube right now. Nice sweet memories. Sounds amazing.
It was fun. When we lived in town, we boarded the horse on a farm about 6 miles in the country. My friend and I would ride bikes out in the morning with a sack lunch. Saddle up and ride till late afternoon. Get back to town just before sundown.
We named the horse Penny, because we saved our pennies to buy her-and she was sort of copper colored. One of the best parts of my childhood.
Lazy daisy crazy days of summer. LOL
Sugar cubes and small apple chunks-carefully.
