Phipps Ride on Saturday, October 19, 2024
Trailers started rolling through the gate in preparation for a gorgeous day of riding with the weather being sunny and a perfectly cool 50 something degree morning. List of riders included ride leader Sharon with Beau; Wendy with Eli; Megan with Gus; Esther with Dana; Joyce with Blue, and Sue with Quia.
This was one of the first rides for the season for two of our riders, so they were especially happy to be there. We tacked up our horses, grouped up together and started out on the newest trail heading toward Gate B, which is now developing in to a very nice addition to our other trails.
We meandered through woods, rode up and down the hills of the trail parallel to Lake Jackson, rode down by Lake Victoria, took the single track trail by the soccer field and then headed back to the trailers which totaled 1 hour and 45 minutes. All the horses were great and I do believe all of them (including their passengers) totally enjoyed the ride.
After the ride, we pulled out some chicken rollups, along with Megan’s Halloween cookies and enjoyed munching and chatting. So enjoyed the perfect fall day with friends and our horses.
