Some friends and I decided to take advantage of the (finally) break in the freezing weather and headed to "the reservoir" this afternoon. This is an area that was supposed to become the Eagle Creek Reservoir, but for some reason the project has been on hold for years and in the meantime has become a great place to take your horse to ride.
This was Attie's first trail ride. Her first ride in a group of horses. Her first deer. Her first climb over a dirt berm (her eyes were as big as saucers I was told :-D). She had great baby-sitters in Lucky, Chief and Opie, but just the same we decided to stay on one of the main roads and save bushwhacking for another day.
What a nice day. Thanks everyone...especially Attie. You did a good job.

looks fun! I haven't ridden a horse in uhm, decades!
Lovely way to spend the day!
I'm getting the horse bug again reading about your horses. Maybe next spring?
