Trail ride pictures... last trail ride was June 19! Yikes... what a summer.

Tacking up at the trailhead...

And we're off :~)

Scary looking hole opened up in the trail... makes me wonder what's under there...

IN the creek...

Through a clear cut :~\ (We found it to be very hot in the sun, but seeing as how it's only 78 degrees, maybe most of you won't feel bad for us at all.

As long as his young horse still has to trot to catch up, then I think Bay is doing good!

STILL scary after all these years :~)

At a rest stop.... scrape on Cyn's nose... not sure how she did this...

Bay looking pretty in profile I thought :~)

And back into the nice cool shade :~)

And that's it... all booted up and ready to go home :~)

Great pictures! Looks like a lovely day for a ride.

Bay is beautiful in profile - that's a picture to paint. By the way, he knows that a troll lives under the rock - it WILL come out someday.

PS - no sympathy for 78 degrees :)

Believe it or not, that is a turtle hole! We have a bunch of them on one of the trails that we go down. Big Horse Eating Turtle Holes. (If you couldn’t guess, the horses get all snorty when they go by them) It’s more of a chain reaction really, one starts, and then they all get going. The holes are deep enough so that they could snap an ankle or a leg if they were to trip into one.

Very nice pictures. Looks like a great ride..

78...right.

How was Bay at the start? Did he seem OK?

I noticed you are riding in the hack...did you ever switch to the kimberwicke? Have you gotten his head up any or is he still a WP horse:)

Looks like some of the downed trees are finding their way into the creek.

I love it when older horses don’t act their age. Tammy, the black horse who I’ve posted pictures of, is now in her 30s, and she’s the shiniest, most rip snorting horse out of all of them.

I also noticed Bay’s breast collar. You don’t think it’s up a bit high on his neck??
Almost looks like it could choke him if the saddle slipped back, or if he put his head down to graze any?? He really looks good, looks like he’s put on some weight too:)
