Bruce. What a fashion statement :) (we all wear ski gloves with shorts, right?) hehe
Sorry to say that again, the settings on my camera got changed around from being taken in and out of my saddle bag so things aren't in focus as well as I'd like :( (does that mean I can go back and try again?)
We began at 7 a.m., when there was already light.
The water is flowing on the right.
This was awesome!
So many interesting things on this trail
We can stop anywhere to let the horses drink.
In front of one of the large rock walls.
These two horses spent most of the time eating and rubbing on one another.
Where's my new best friend?
Weaver, of course always comes home from a ride fat but this time I was exceptionally pleased that Rocky did all 5 days and even at a trot there are no signs of ribs....he's nice and plump :).
They got along great!
Bruce and Linda. They finished just before the cutoff because they stayed out to help Andy, the runner.
This trail is going between sand and slick rock.
it's steeper than it looks.
She just rode him down thru the slickrock.
You need to ride straight down it, not sideways at an angle, or else your horse will slip.
We took our time thru this. I would think that it must be very difficult on the horses going from hard solid rock into deep sand repeatedly. Horses that made it thru this ride are truly exceptional athletes.
Notice the clouds that are forming.
It (is always) steeper than it looks!
We rode in the canyon for quite a ways, thru the water.
Yes, we really did just come down this!
At least I got them moving!
So many interesting things to see.
