Going horseback riding on a 6000 acre ranch.
Going horseback riding on a 6000 acre ranch. It was a little dusty.
This is the horseback ride everyone dreams about. No "nose to tail' riding here. It's wide open range just like in the Zane Grey novels.
I was taken on a 3 1/2 hour ride on open range. They even let me take him for a nice gallup on several ocassions.
No trails, just sage brush and wide open spaces........
We got back to the ranch and the other horses were waiting for us a the corral.
