Belle goes horse camping

I spent this past weekend up at Jack's Gulch, a "horse campground" west of Fort Collins up in the mountains. I took Belle, and we had a great time! I went with three other people, and we shared a camp site that had four pipe corrals for the horses. We rode for almost four hours on Friday, over five hours on Saturday, and about an hour on Sunday, and I think Belle had as much energy at the end as she did at the beginning. She's such an energizer pony! Some of the horses were very green, and one rider was very green, but they all did very well. We climbed hills, picked our way over big rocks, navigated a variety of water crossings, and wandered across large grassy meadows. The horses that didn't have much trail experience before this trip are old pros now!

I've just added a few photos from the trip to Belle's photo album.
