River crossings included!

We crossed a couple rivers (or maybe the same one numerous times) We'd let them drink and then keep pressing on. Sometimes riding beside the river edges made me nervous. Bit of a drop and when the horses acted up from time to time...well, I wasn't sure their backup radar was competely intact as they would get pretty close. Our leader was ona green horse that got very close, but she said it did not make her nervous at all. Guess it helps to have done it hundreds of times ?

Here is a pretty good picture of Lindy Lou. She liked to be in front and did not like stopping for anything. She was as surefooted as a mountian goat which was really cool (and necessary!) She was barefoot (no shoes) but didn't stumble and went through mud, water, over trees, through bushes and in and out of trees like it was no problem. Great horse.
What a great day! I really enjoyed it, thanks for going with me John. We will be making this a yearly occassion...any who want to join us...feel free :)
