A Horse of a Different Name?


So Isaac Prayed for 3 years, no lie, to be able to go horse back riding with his sisters at Crystal Peaks Youth ranch. The girls go twice a month. Because you have to be 5 this was his first time. He was so cute with the Horse and his instructor, Sam. His favorite horse, Luke, had retired from the ranch so Sam picked out this sweet gentle beauty. You can imagine Isaac's dismay at finding out this horse's name was Isabelle and it was a girl. Horses should be boys named Luke or Bob. He actually asked if he could rename the horse a boy name. Sam explained that the horse knew her name and would be confused if they called her something different. Sam asked Isaac if he could call Isaac by a different girl name. "NO Way", he replied. Then he understood. And he begrudgingly accepted her. And to his surprise he still had fun riding a GIRL.
