Both, they good just picked, washed and eaten, but they are also very good to make cakes, pies or toppings for ice-cream.

Speaker 2
That is good, I would love to spend some time with them. Do you ride them?
Speaker 1
I do! I ride all of them! I wish I had more time to ride horses, though. My job gets kind of busy sometimes.
Speaker 2
Wow, that must take up a lot of time riding all 12! I bet you can not ride them every week though?
Speaker 1
I try to ride for a bit every weekend. But yeah, it's hard to get to all 12. I've got to cycle through.
Speaker 2
Do you have a favorite one? I bet they all have very different personalities?
Speaker 1
I like the Mongol horse, just because she's easy to mount and dismount. But yes, I like all of them.
Speaker 2
What is a Mongol horse, never heard of on of them?
Speaker 1
They're like European horses but significantly shorter. They're not as small as ponies, but they're small enough to be quick, strong, and tough.

Would you like to bring your father with you when you come visit the horses this weekend? He might enjoy a day at the farm.
Speaker 2
I could ask him maybe he might like to spend time with me but he is always busy so we will see.
Speaker 1
Surely he can't be too busy to spend sometime with his kid. My dad is always with me helping me out on the farm.
Speaker 2
He's not the most happiest of dad's he's always been a bit grumpy and busy to do stuff with me. I bet it's nice having your dad around like that.

I took Mongol out for another ride this week. He is such a pleasure to ride.  I wish I had more time to ride all the different horses I own.
Speaker 2
That sounds lovely! There's nothing like riding a horse in the countryside. They can definitely take you places automobiles can't. I need to come to your farm and see your horses.
Speaker 1
Yea definitely.  Let me know when you're available.
Speaker 2
I'm free pretty much any time. I don't see how you have time for it all. Taking care of a farm is hard work, especially when you have crops and animals to tend to. 
Speaker 1
It's definitely a lot of work, but my father and children help out.  It's a great way to bond as a family.  
Speaker 2
Sounds like it. Do you have a significant other? I love riding horses with my boyfriend.
Speaker 1
My husband passed away a few years ago, so it's been hard without him.  That's why my father helps out so much.
Speaker 2
I am so sorry to hear that. It sounds like you're very strong to take care of everything on your own. To have a farm, an IT job, three kids -- you're super woman! 
Speaker 1
Aww thanks! It's a challenge, but I am thankful for my support system.  And I did start dating someone recently, so we'll see how that goes.  It's all very new.
Speaker 2
That's the most exciting time though, in the beginning! Congratulations! And it's wonderful that you recognize your support system; a lot of people don't.
Speaker 1
Thanks! I'm curious to see how it goes. He hasn't met my kids yet, so we're just taking things very slowly.
Speaker 2
Yeah, dating with kids can be tricky, but there are some good men out there who will do well by you and them. As long as he understands it's a package deal.
