7IL Sire Ride-A-Thon

When:  October 12-13, 2012
Ride time: Oct. 12 ~ 1 hour 
                Oct. 13 ~ 2 hours

We went on our first overnight camping trip to 7IL Ranch in Cat Springs.  We had a great time and Riffics was absolutely perfect.  The ranch is amazingly beautiful.  These pictures were taken in the morning as soon as we woke up, it was dewy and peaceful.  The stars in the morning were so big and bright.  I can't wait to go back!




Hot To Trot Trail Riders:
Remy with Flame, Kelly with Riffics,
Kellie with Tea Party, and Nina with Mandy

 

This is a picture of Riffics corral for the night.  He was perfectly behaved.  He did NOT test the hot wire, thank goodness because it wasn't working!



This is my living quarters horse trailer.  Yes, it has a fan, a reading light, and a bathroom!! 
I slept great!!  I woke up every 2 hours to check on Riffics.

Pundt Park Ride

When:  August 2, 2012
Ride Time:  2 hours

Michelle, Greg, and I rode Pundt Park on Thursday and had a great time.  There were a lot of trees down due to all the rain and storms we have gotten lately.  There were a lot of trees in the creek and some of the trails were bocked due to all the trees and brush.  The bugs were not as bad as they were in June, I do miss all the butterflies though. 

Bucking Ride

When:  July 28, 2012
Ride Time: 3 hours

We all new it would happen again, it was just a matter of time.  It happens every couple of years or so.  & Yep, it did happen... Riffics bucked me off.  We were trotting, then I asked him to walk.  I wasn't really paying attention and the next thing I know, he bucked and I landed on his neck.  I gave him a hug and rolled off onto the ground.  I got up and beat him with the whip (anyone who knows me knows I would never harm any of my animals!... so when I say beat, I really mean tap...) then of course I got back on.  He was on his best behavior then and has been all week now.  I gave him an attitude adjustment and now he is back to being my perfect horse again, I have my horse back! But, now I have a bum thumb!!
