Dakota looked at Elijah with a smile. "I'm gonna take him outside to help me feed the horses dinner" She said, grabbing her son's boots

Elijah nods, "very well" he says kissing her head

Dakota smiled at him before going outside and bringing in the horses. Ethan helped by putting a treat into every horse's grain bucket after Dakota poured it in. She smiled as Toby nickered at Ethan, bringing the toddler to a fit of giggles

Ethan reached out toward Eiljah, opening and closing his little fists. "Dada" He burbled, leaning over dramatically toward Elijah. Dakota handed her son over with a half smile before feeding the horses hay and grooming them out.

Elijah smiles, taking Ethan from her arms. He watches as Dakota began grooming the horses. "Want help with that?" He offers

"No. Ethan should probably head inside where it's warm" She said, picking out Secret's feet and singing quietly to the mare to calm her feet from the dance they were intending to do. She finished with Secret and moved to Toby, barely avoiding the swishing tail as Dakota picked his hooves and curried out the mud spots
