It's been about 25 years since I had the opportunity to ride horses. My partner and I recently met Cowboy Sarge through my Buddy gallery and we found out that he and his friends had recently bought a farm in Fort Valley in the beauiful Massanutten Mountains in Virginia. It just so happens that their farm is just 20 miles from where we go camping about every other weekend during the summer. So I got invited to come over and do some trail riding. Our first opportunity was on June 30, 2001. I couldn't take the camera along on the ride so these photos are from the beginning of the ride, and from the cleanup afterwards.

A final adjustment.... 640 x 424, 66.8 k 640 x 424, 66.3 k and the horses are grazing away until next time.
Everyone had a great time, even the horses, and we can't wait until our next opportunity to get together for another trail ride.
