Backwards

Two days of great riding and a break in the storm system! Although it was supposed to get up to 76 degrees on Saturday--it did not. No matter--it was a great day of riding. We decided that it would be slick on Hennessey, so we rode Underwood. Just as we came over the first trail to the road, Lynn stopped and said, "Wanna ride it backwards?" Heck, yeah, we answered. Here we are at the "Tippy Turn." :)

It is so pretty! There are spots where we go uphill and never look back that are just beautiful trails. Everything looks so different. The horses were like, "Sheesh, I didn't realize how steep these downs are until we have to go up them!" Of course, Jupes thought, "Wow, grass grazing break already! I like this!" Well at least until we didn't stop there. :)


Lynn said a couple times that it was going to be sunny on the top--it looks lighter on the top and we'll see some sun. Not. It was misty and foggy. Still pretty and didn't "dampen" our fun, but it was cold.








Sunday we rode the ranch. It was gorgeous with all the fall colors. Again we rode it backwards--going down the meadow to the barn and then up through the woods towards the back of the mountain and then out into the meadow and back up to the top. I really like the woods east of the ranch--it was another cool day without sun, but it makes the fall colors pop.

 Cows ahead!

It was a bittersweet ride because we may not ever get to ride there in the fall again. The property sold and the new owners plan to put in several huge green houses. :( That beautiful ranch will be destroyed.

It's supposed to rain again this week. I hope it does, but I hope we get to ride again next week. I sure makes my work week a lot better. Happy trails! :)
