It feels incredible to be able to ride almost endlessly throughout the country via horseback. I feel as if I am living in a time that has long passed in the Wild West. It is a feeling of freedom. Of noticing the things I would not see in the city or highways here. So many…

Here in the mountains, this morning it appeared to be continuing for the rest of the day. The rains started up a bit, then stopped. The horses were confined in their stalls., munching their cut grass. I was disappointed at the prospect of not riding today. Now I look to see the sun peering at…
