Peek a Boo

Lindsay went in this afternoon to find that Keely has learned to pull down her bumper pads.

Wow Busy Summer - We just got home from Youth Conference.

This says it all, the kids had fun one and all - - -
The lovely J all decked out in her helmet and - life vest? The staff said they were for the 10 foot deep river the horses would need to swim across. I am guessing to prevent severe back, rib, chest injury when being bucked off.
Off into the sunset!

This is the lovely Tigger from the rider's (my) point of view. A very tall orange horse with a bad reputation (I am a glutton for punishment). Tigger did quite well under my firm and confident hand. Only once did he reach back and try to bite my leg. I gave him a nice little tug on the reins. At the end of the ride, the staff girl came up to us and was going to help me dismount then said, "oh, you may want to wait." Tigger had the last word as he relieved himself just before I had to step off his back, creating a nice little mud puddle just below me.
Yes that is a lovely shot of me - at the top of a hill/mountain - something in between. Our YM Pres., me and the Laurel advisor heard that there were fossils at the top of this mountain - - the youth looked up and felt like they would rather go canoeing, horseback riding or swimming. Hmmm, silly kids.
