Our ward had a BBQ and silent auction a couple weekends ago to earn money for our youth camps this summer. We bid on a horseback riding trip that one of our bishopric members was auctioning off. It was the one thing that I really wanted in the auction and Keith got it for us. :) So we went out last Friday afternoon. It was so fun! I've been on horseback rides where the horses follow in a line and you don't really have to do anything. I've never been "free range" riding before. It took a little time to get used to it, but then it was great.
He took us up to the McDowell Mountains (north of Fountain Hills). We were out there for a couple hours at least. My horse was named Smoke'n North Star.
Keith rode on Luke. (May the horse be with you! hahaha!)
We stopped at the top of a ridge and looked out at the amazing views around us. Our wonderful guide even brought some Sonic ice and some sparkling cider, pretzels, and grapes.
We got to do a lot of trotting. These horses were so lively and excited to be out there, that it took a lot of reminding for them to walk. Trotting was fun, but walking was much smoother!
