Trail Rides

The day started out cloudy, then cleared up then it rained then cleared again then cooled down.  Typical mountain weather, I think.
While Liam and Vincent joined the Range Riders for their morning activities, John, Luca, and I took a scenic, walking trail ride.  Luca and I did well, improving our riding skills but John struggled with groin and hip pain and sore muscles to a point whereby he almost wanted to get off and walk back.  Liam and I are really learning how to stop our horses from eating grass along the trail.  
In the afternoon Luca took a lopping class and really enjoyed that.  He said it was much easier than trotting.  John gathered up his fly fishing gear to fish in the CO River but was interrupted by a brief thunderstorm.  That same storm wet me down at the end of a fun scenic trail ride.  Liam and Vincent also tried lopping and also got to try the archery range.  All three boys have made friends and enjoy playing games, cards and other activities with them.
