Winter trail ride
November 26 / 2007 08:36 PM Filed in: Trail Riding
The weather was finally
nice enough today for us to hit the trails, even
though they were still a bit muddy and snowy in
spots. Jane and I met Fran at the trail head for the
Left Hand Valley trail, which is quite close to me
but I'd never been to before. I didn't even know it
was there! The trail goes south into Boulder Valley
Ranch, which of course I've ridden many times.
I rode Kelton, Jane rode Ivy, and Fran rode her trusty mare while ponying her chubby gelding for some exercise. The trail has lots of gates to open, so Jane and I had some fun trying to get Ivy and Kelton to figure out how to do it, but they will clearly need some lessons. When we couldn't get the job done, Fran stepped up to do it with the gelding in tow -- pretty impressive!
It's nice that this trail is so close, but I think I like riding out from the Eagle trail head better because then you can do a loop rather than an out and back. But it was nice to be out on a ride, regardless!
