Hopeing your ride is going good. It got brutally humid here today. I had some chores to get done, and by the time i got done it is just too hot to think of riding. Never did rain, just got humid.

More trail riding pictures! Boy are you guys going to get tired of looking at Bay's ears now that we have a trailer! I swear I'll just show you all this scenery once, and then when I think you know what the area looks like, I'll slow down, I promise! :~D

Today was a great ride... I was only half as nervous as yesterday, and Bay was too... Today he acted like a seasoned horse, not the greenhorn A-Rab horse he was yesterday! Cyn also, was just a trooper.

Tall tree area

Logged area

One of the bridges we crossed today, this one is just like the one from yesterday.

This below is such a cool place -- vine maple branches have overgrown and made an arch over the whole trail. This picture is looking UP as we went under. It's so dark in there that none of the other pictures came out.

This is the rest spot at Mima Falls

And these are the falls ;~D

This is another bridge, right by the rest area and the falls.

This is me next to a HUGE tree I thought you'd enjoy seeing. It's a little obscured by branches, but if you look close you can see how wide it is... I think it makes me look thin ;~D

Another bridge:

Cyn doesn't like to walk in the muddy places, so she takes ecurbh off into the shrubberies on each side of the trail if it's too muddy ;~D There were only a few really bad mud spots now, It'll get better as the summer dries it out.

This is a pretty cool U-shaped bridge. It has a culvert under it with water running too, which makes the horses a little antsy.

And that's all! Terrific day! Terrific hobby, this riding thing! My husband is worn out, it's hard work riding horses! Both of us only had partial use of our knees when we first dismounted at the end. :~D I think our total distance was about 10 miles.

I do admire you, for getting out and running those barrels. It's a lot of work, to get that horse just right. The clinic should be a lot of fun for you and your family.

When Rusty had his stifle problem, could you hear a pop? Snazzy, the QH my daughter leased is having a problem. He was sort of walking on his toes and we could hear a pop sound when backing. She called the vet tech she knows, and she told her to back him, and that pops it back in place. We have given him stall rest for a couple days and he seems better. When I lunged him the other day, the healer was chasing him, and he did a lot of bucking and kicking out at the dog. That probably didn't help either. Oh, and the backing trick, didn't seem to help either.
