Horseback riding with the fam

Brian and Patch

Brians horse was the biggest one of the group. Every once in awhile, Patch would

suddenly stop to eat a random piece of grass, almost sending Brian over Patch's head!

Kim and Beauty

Beauty was really sweet, but she was a really big clutz. She tripped over everything including her own feet, forcing me to hold on tight or fall overboard. She also had a mind of her own, everytime I pulled her reins to slow down, she would buck her head and pull the reins through my fingers so I couldn't hold her back. She always had to be right behind our guide.

Kristy and Geronemo
Kristy really liked her horse. He was the most nervous of all our horses, which caused Kristy to have a few hold ups when we came across ppl hiding or cows grazing.

Dad and Stitch

Mom and Buck
Buck had a hurt ankle and so mom brought up the rear. Buck was really slow, especially after the 2 hrs we spent on horseback. We found ourselves waiting for him to catch up and mom said that he kept stopping and lifting his injured foot off the ground to give it a rest. By the end we could tell that her horse could care less what it was doing and that it was done for the day. Buck would start to make his own paths and trails, ignoring anything mom tried to tell him to do!
