Trail ride pics!

This was a short ride to get Cyn in the river, and over a bridge, and troubleshoot any issues she might have had. She didn't... Bay did, but that's another story. He was feeling great tonight, dancing down the trail and jumping out of his skin and snorting at fallen logs, scary ferns and shadows. Heh... Goofy old horse. He even gave me a little bit if grief about going in the river. He's crossed that river a thousand times. He was just wired... After feeling lousy this morning... Beat's me.

Cyn went right in after Bay finally did ;~D sniffed it once, didn't like the footing but went. (you can see it's big round rocks, like walking on baseballs.)

This is the bridge that was to be the next lesson...

Horses get a little tense on these bridges, they're noisy, and I don't like that it looks like that railing would cut my leg off at the knee, but again, Cyn followed Bay right over this.

Couple trail shots on the way back :~D

And back at the trailer!

Good night - chat in the morning!

Cyn is a horse in a million - she's got a home here if you ever decide to sell :)

Thanks for the pics, trail ride and show. That's a beautiful trail. You can just tell how "up" Bay was, by his ears. I am glad to hear he was feeling better, and that Cyn did well. Nice looking rig, your truck and trailer. Do you have your tack room all set up?

It's a beautiful morning here, sunny and getting to the high 70's. We were going to go look at the stud, but she is going to a horse show. It's only about an hours drive, so we will go next week. I want to check out her facilities before I take Jody there. Time to get going here and enjoy the nice day.

Wow! I love those ferns on the trail. They are HUGE! I'm glad Bay got to feeling better, even if he was a little wired. And Cyn is just a good 'ol girl who just seems to take in stride anything life sends her way. Glad ya had a good ride.

I'm riding at a new place tomorrow. It's called Little River Canyon. It's supposed to be the deepest canyon east of the Mississippi. I'm taking Blade for my friend to test drive before she buys him and I'll be riding Bluebell. Y'all wish me luck. This'll be the first time she's been out on a trail since she was a 3yr old, and maybe ever (she's 9 now). This'll also be my friend's Husband's 1st ride since his heart attack and by-pass surgery in March, so pray for us. He's been wanting to get back in the saddle so bad so we figured this'd be a good one for him. Just us, no pressures, we can go back whenever we want. We're just gonna take it slow and do mostly walking. It'll be a 2hr drive for me so I'll have to get up early. Pictures will be forthcomming on Monday.

Oh, and I did get pictures and video of the breaking rig I posted pictures of yesterday. The poor horse looked pretty wasted by the time I got there. I think he'd been working him with the brake on for about 45 minutes. This was the horse that broke down a tubular steel round pen when he first started working with him earlier this week.

I'm off to my Husband's company picnic in a little while. It was one of those where they said to him, "You WILL be there won't you?". It's ok though, they're giving away some really nice door prizes (a 42" plasma TV, digital cameras and camcorders, computers, IPODS etc) so maybe we'll win something. Talk to ya later...

Nice pictures. I have some downloading. They aren't comparable due to location but still nice.
