This is our group...
A pretty little gaited palomino...poor thing was carrying a LOAD! I'll bet this poor guy was galded beyone belief by the time he got back. I think his buddies tricked him and told him they were going on the wagon ride...
I thought this bay was pretty. He almost looks like a dark buckskin...
That horse is pretty, and I'd definately call his color buckskin! The palomino is pretty too.
I hope to go on a few of the organized rides... I'm with you, they are often full of yahoos, but sometimes they get you into trails I wouldn't know about otherwise, and sometimes the social aspect is fun. It'd be good for ecurbh to see all the types that show up to those things. We have a couple big ones with hundreds of riders. I like poker rides where you draw a card at each checkpoint and there are prizes based on your poker hand at the end. The one I went on last year was our sherrif's posse fundraiser, and I rode sweep, which was fun because I was all offical and got to carry the radio ;~D I didn't find anyone who needed saving.
I noticed in your pictures that all the ladies in your group had halters under the bridle. Is this something you do all the time? And the purpose I suppose is to be able to tie them up quickly? Inquiring minds need to know. Being a somewhat new rider I need all the help I can get
