Hans and Mil were still in Idaho this past spring when it would have been a perfect time to ride, and then they moved here in the middle of the HOT summer . . . and things got really busy with school and the piano competition, etc., etc.
Well, Mil, April Nielsen and I finally got in the Kolob Arch ride!! We left Saturday morning and drove the 45 miles north to the Kolob exit. We're so grateful for a truck that runs and can pull three horses...the day couldn't have been more beautiful!! PERFECT weather. We rode for about 6 miles, stopped at the "water spot" and ate lunch and took pictures...then rode to the arch trailhead. Had to leave the horses tied up, and hiked in another mile, climbing up and over rocks and hills. By the time we hiked out, our legs were pretty tired, and we were VERY grateful to have horses to ride out. As it was, our bums were sore and we were SO ready to get off the horses by the time we returned to the truck. What a great day!
It was a long ride . . . it was a beautiful ride . . .
it was a LOOONNNNGG ride, but IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL RIDE!!!
The pic with Mil sitting in the dirt was taken right after she did a somersault over Red Star's neck...
and she landed VERY gracefully! She has some great bruises to show for it!!
THIS WOULD BE A GREAT FAMILY RIDE!!!
