Three Ponds at Snow Canyon Trail Ride

Like a month ago (or something...everything seems to run together these days!) we went down to Snow Canyon State Park and rode the Three Ponds trail down by the sand dunes. It was sooo very busy there that day it was a little crazy getting the horses unloaded and saddled with all the little kids running around.







Mom, Max and Bucky came with us too! When we got there 2 of my 3 welds on my door had broken off. It was a trick to open and then had to strap it to hold it closed to get it home. What an adventure!!

















Josh and Daisy rode their own horses and Bill rode with me in the same saddle. I forgot to ask my mom to bring the "buddy saddle." Daisy rode Sonora and Josh rode Banker. The craziest thing is that I rode the stud (who is not a stud horse anymore but we can't get away from calling him that...) and Bill rode with me. This was his FIRST time going anywhere. For the last 9 years he's been in a pen separate from everyone else. We gelded him in February, the horse market is crap right now and no one wants to breed their mares when they can go to the auction and buy a papered baby for $25 and I don't blame them. I thought it might be nice to be able to use "the stud" as a ridin horse. He put in his time as a stud maybe he would like to be a normal horse for a while... ANYHOO... he did GREAT! We all had a ton of fun and got hike around at the ponds.. I don't know why I didn't take pics of actually riding, go figure!
