Horse Park

Last Saturday, Emma, Jay and I went to the Kentucky Horse Park.
The park was hosting the National Intercollegiate
Polo Championship match. According to the announcement
they had in the Friday paper, they were doing some children's
activities prior to the match.

One of the advertised activity was a place where children can
be up close and pet a pony. Since it was a free event,
Jay and I said, "why not?"

The pre-match events were suppose to start at 3:00 PM
and the Women's Final was scheduled for 5:00 PM.
We got there at exactly 3:00, and boy what a disappointment!

There was NOTHING.
Aside from the First Aid truck with a fuzzy mascot and
a simulated ride, nothing else was happening.
N-O-T-H-I-N-G

We ended up walking to a nearby paddock where they were
having the Bluegrass Open Mounted Games.
Emma was not interested to watch that at all.
All she wanted to do was pet a darn horse.

On our way out of the park, we managed to find
a paddock where two horses were grazing.
Emma got her wish.
On top of that she also managed to step on horse poop.

OMFG! The stench!!!
I have cleaned everything.
I also washed her shoes.
Even after washing it and drying it, it was still smelly.
So now, it's in the basement wrapped in Bounce dryer sheet.

If anyone knows how to get rid of the stench...
leave me a message!!!

Other than that, got pictures on my Flickr site.
Sorry, no actual poop picture was taken.

Awwww I'm sorry it sucked so much! Wait until she is old enough for the trail rides. FUN!

I do not know if this will work, but I have heard of using tomato juice to get rid of skunk smells. So maybe it will work with horse poop.
