Canyon Horse Ride

Marc and his friend Kevin went on a ride up the canyon on the Summit Trail. They cow called in a bull elk but they weren't able to see it. Marc later found out than some other friends of his were in almost the same area and say several bull elk including a herd of cow elk with a bull, a nice big buck and a black bear. Go figure, huh. Guess you just need to be in the right place at the right time. But, Marc did get to see a black bear last year on the Summit Trail so I guess he'll just have to hold onto that memory for now.

Good luck to Kevin and Marc next time they go, which I am sure will be soon...

Kevin was breaking out his new colt, Champ. He is a 2 1/2 year old gelding. He was real good on the ride and he should turn out to be a good horse for him.

Here are some pics of their ride.

Marc on Blue. He really is proud of her, I don't blame him she is a beauty, and has a great disposition to go with it.

Kevin on Champ, he's looking like one too! :}

When Marc got home, 3 heard the trailer pull up and she jumped out of her seat to go see the horses and cry for a ride. Sure enough Dad had to give in and he put 8 on too. They really love those horses. They have been such a blessing in our lives. I really hope that even during tough times we will always find a way to keep them. I think our children would be devastated to lose them. Here are som cute pics Marc took of 3 and 8 on Blue before he unsaddled her. Happy as can be!

Little windy out there..I don't know what 8 is doing, but, I like the pic anyway.

I think 8 is trying to make sure 3 is looking and smiling at the camera.
He is a good big brother.

How cute!
