Tomorrow Beth and I are taking the horses to the mountains to go trail-riding. This has been a dream of mine for a long time. Ever since I was young, and our 4H group took our horses camping for the weekend and went trail-riding, I have craved doing it again. Being out there in nature, on horseback, listening to the sounds of the forest, and watching animals go by. I remember seeing whole herds of deer frolicking and eating in the tall meadows surrounding the forest where we rode, unafraid of us, as if we were part of everyday forest life. We were all super-quiet, just listening, which was amazing for a group of 15, 8-14 year olds.
This will be fun as we are going to a beautiful forest, nestled in the mountains, with creeks and maybe even a waterfall. Just the drive there is beautiful!
I wish my husband could come along to enjoy this too. I think he is a little jealous, though he has taken his bike to some beautiful places, while I have been home wishing I knew how to ride a bike like him, (and had a babysitter). Maybe one day we can ride side-by-side, him on a mountain bike and me on a horse. Wouldn't that be something!
