Meet and greet: Rhino

Olive is my horse, and I love her.

I love her even when she's bad...

Olive and Christine

and even when she's weird.

I know my friends love her, too.

Olive and Tiffany

But I also know that when people come to visit, she is not the main attraction.

Thunder is a fabulous little horse - brave, safe, fun to ride and cute as a button.

Jackie and Thunder

But he's not the main attraction either.

Jackie and Thunder

That honor goes to Rhino.

Christie and Rhino

Literally, from the moment he walked out of his stall on Monday, he was the only horse anyone cared about.

Mel and Rhino

He didn't even have to do anything, other than, you know, exist.

Heather and Rhino

He's just that kind of horse.

Angelo and Rhino

I took him out of the stall, and Christine, Maddie and Mel cleaned him up.

Then I found a way to work him into some of the cosplay photos.

Tara and Rhino

Mostly, though, he just hung out and let everyone revel in his Rhinoness.

Mel and Rhino

This was enough for most people, but I could see Christine was really dying to ride him.

Okay, fine.

This is your reward for dealing with bad Olive.

Hugs for Rhino.

Olive is mine, Thunder is perfect, but Rhino is the superstar. I am so grateful Emily allowed me to share him with all my friends.
