Trail Ride
Our trail ride on May 31st was a very pleasant day, great weather and good company. We had 4 riders join us at Hall Ranch Trail above Lyons. Unfortunately I had no other Appaloosa enthusiasts join us, the horsemen and women had read about the ride on our web site.
I would like to send a very grateful thank you to Bill Mawes, from the Boulder County Parks for all his help finding The Road Less Traveled for us. We enjoyed serene meadows, mountains and wild life thanks to Bill's knowledge. We are very fortunate to have all this in our own back yards.
Happy Trails! Terry
