Bill and Michelle just left - Lulu, Jimmy and I all took turns riding Sam and Rocky. Lulu's first time in the saddle and she did just fine.
When I was a teenager, my parents used to spend every other summer in Colorado and we did a lot of horseback riding. It was fun in that my 50 year old muscle memory came right back. Felt very comfortable to be in the saddle and we walked and trotted with zero problem. Sam stumbled at one point and went down to his knees and I had no problem staying in the saddle and not panicking.
There are a number of logging roads within a close distance to our house so we will have plenty of opportunities for picnics.
Lulu is on Rocky, I am on Sam - Bill is leading Rocky as this is Lulu's first time on a horse.
Out standing in our field - the Llamas were like WTF? Are they going to do this to us too?¿?¿
Jimmy riding Rocky - I stayed on Sam all the time. Have a thing for mules and we got along just fine.
Heading home. The end of the trail for both of us - for today...
Looks like a lot of fun. All of you look comfortable, including Sam and Rocky, and I am glad you had a good time. When is my turn??? Just kidding, maybe Sam and thats about it, if I have enough liquid courage.
Great pictures Dave !! Tell Lulu she looks great on a horse and Happy Birthday !!
