Horseback

I have been wanting to take a horseback ride since we were in Glacier National Park. The trip in Glacier went to one of the chalets up on the mountain and I’m sure it would have been breath taking. The down side was that it was an all day trip and I didn’t think my bum could sit on a saddle that long. Looking back, it was a good decision to pass on that trip. Mike and I took a 2 hour trail ride this afternoon. The scenery was nice and the weather was cool. About half way through the ride, we started to hear the rumble of thunder. Soon after, we could feel the cool breeze blowing through the trees. It was really nice.

My horse was a big boy, 17.5 hands tall and 1700 lbs. He seemed pretty calm and everything went smoothly. It’s a good thing too because I think he was the one in control and I was just along for the ride.
