the ranch pt 3

My favorite part of the entire trip was the

2-hour trail ride we took through the

"mountains" on the ranch.

In Georgia, our trail rides are going down dirt roads.

This was definitely a new experience on the back of a horse for me.

But it was exhilirating!

The horses were navigating cliffs that were

narrower than my FOOT

and going up & down some pretty steep hills.

My adrenaline was working overtime. 

I keep repeating the mantra:

trust the horse, trust the horse.

I had a really fantastic horse in Ronan.

He was a little bit of a bully and he did not 

like following so he would

try pushing other horses out of the way. 

But I like a strong-willed horse!

All of the following pictures were taken while I was on

horseback!

That's all I'm saying;)
