A little girl from Colorado went horseback riding for the first time the other weekend for her birthday, then wrote her wish of having her own on a balloon....she sent the balloon off and it couldn't have landed in a better place -- a family with a ranch and seven horses.

Jennifer, who found the balloon,  said she believes in fate.

She saw the balloon caught in her fence and found the message, "My wish for this year is to get a pet horse".

She posted it on Facebook and she eventually found Macey.

Since connecting, she has been working with Macey's family to help them try and find a horse closer to her home.

She is also hoping to connect with Macey and her family so they can all go horse-back riding one day.
