Can you (not that you would for this one) go to these places to ride so you and your horse can train at your own pace?

Do they have camping and stalls? My husband and I were looking at some of the places in the Ozarks to go to, I bet it is beautiful. I have driven through NW Arkansas before and it is definitely hilly.
The place where we camp is private, right across the road from the park..It's called, "Mack's Pine Grove" and it's in Dover Ark...you know now that you say that, it might be the Ozarks instead of the Kiamichi...not sure now. Is all I know is it's a mountain range and very challenging.
Anyway, this Macks Pine Grove, has cabins and stalls you can rent, and they have a little resturant there too. It's not the fanciest place but not bad. There are electric hook ups too if you need that.
In the park itself, I know there is a horse camp ground, but I don't know what the facilities are like. I believe the camp ground is called Moccasin Gap.
You might could call Macks, or the state and get more info.

My son and his family are moving into an apartment the first. We have 12 rooms and are going to remodel one each month and replace what needs it. It's probably gonna get ugly though. I want the trim.
There are so many things we need to do, ceilings, floors, windows, but neither Mack nor I have the fortitude right not to tackle those big jobs. Just painting and improved the bedroom so much, that I'm going to try to get at least that much done, and not worry about the big stuff...if it gets done fine, if not fine. But i want some color.
Becky
Well your kitchen is looking really nice. I need more work at my place. It's been 14 years. It's time to finish this house. I've got closets with no shelves , a gutted bathroom, and stuff like that. It's not exactly magazine material.
Well, the filly looked much better this afternoon .. I think using the damp, fly-sprayed wash cloth to really clean and "anoint" her face last nite really helped. It's also rained on and off today, so the bugs may be a little at bay.
I applied the damp-wash-cloth-fly-spray .. and then the pink SWAT .. lol. She looks like and indian pony.. but I think she'll be more comfy.
They also got their ivermectin worming..
Then I stopped and picked up 16 bales of hay .. (8.50 a bale which is pretty goood in these here parts nowadays .. LOL)
Thanks again, for all your help.

Thanks:)..It's probably been that long since we've done anything here too. It's was getting pretty shabby looking.
Even tho my furniture won't match all that well, I think I'm going to go ahead and paint the living/dining room too. Mack and I want to do terra cotta in there, and I'm going to change the accent wall in the living room to the one that the patio door is in.
I want to put crown molding up, and a chair rail in the dining room. Add some architectual detail:)....I think I've been watching too many decorating shows, and too many episodes of "American Castles":)
Becky
I love the colors in there. Those are very close to the colors I used for Bob's office, red on the bottom, sandstone on the top with a wallpaper border in the middle. I really like what you are doing to your rooms.
Thanks Duchess:) I haven't decided yet if I want to put a chair rail where the colors come together, or just leave it as is....Still deciding. I'm going to go look at trim and see If I can find some I like.
I've got 4 oil paintings that my mother did. Each one is a picture of a different barn. I'm going to take them and get new mat boards for them, red, and they will sit up on top of the upper cabinets. So I guess I'm going with a barn theme:)
Becky
The paint looks great... I like it! Color's good.
When do you have to make a decision about the Ark ride? Can you put off the decision for a few weeks, maybe take him on a ride that's a little tougher someplace and see?
I really think that two-tone paint needs a chair rail. Just looks better.
As long as the ride doesn't fill up, which it usually doesn't because it is a difficult ride, I could sign up the day of...
So there is time, but you know me I'll fret about from now till then:) Wondering do I, don't I, do I, don't I...etc. etc. etc.
I know I can for sure make the one in May, the same one I went to last year in the spring. It's a fun ride, not to easy, not to hard....I wish it came before Ark.
Becky
Yeah, I think so too...I just painted some of the base board, and the white really makes the colors pop...I think the chair rail would look great.
Becky
Well, yeah, from a practical standpoint it'd be nice if they'd run the harder rides in the region at the end of the season!
I know you'll fret... keep fretting then, decide as you go :~)
I would like a "garden" area built off my kitchen. A place where I could put a table and 4 chairs in front of a large window and see outside.
The dogs had SO much fun :~)
Homer sortof points... I've seen him do it at home on dove in the yard. Who knows what his parentage is...
Tongues hangin' out now...
They just love the wide open spaces.
