Last Thursday we went to Western Ridge with our girl scout troop to do a Ride n' Swim. The girls were very excited, as it was the first time for many of them, myself included! Thats right, 45 years old and never been on a horse! Well, check that one off the list...
Here i am riding the wonderful mustang, Banjo. She was once a wild mustang from Wyoming, but obviously shes tame now, and a sweet horse! Justin rode Cajun, who apparently decided to stop and eat about every 3 minutes...though most of it was drive by snacking :) While he comfortably poses for this picture, wrangler Cody gives me some pointers about riding...how to turn left, and right, how to stop, and how to get the horse to continue on if she keeps stopping to eat. (hmmm...glad i wasnt on Cajun).
Due to our large troop size, we had to split up into groups, so Justin, Jordyn and i were the last group to go. We enjoyed the pool while the others rode first, and then when it was our turn, Jordyn got to choose her horse...she chose the beautiful brown and white Amigo.
It was a perfect ride...the sun hid behind some rain clouds, and we even got sprinkled on a bit, but the wildflowers were the best part of the ride and i decided at that moment, that i LOVE horseback riding! Jordyn thanked Amigo for a wonderful ride, and then it was time for pizza!
Time to say goodbye to the horses.
Thanks for planning this adventure for our troop Sharon,(and for getting me on a horse)...its an adventure ill cherish forever! :)
