Saturday and Sunday


Here are some pictures taken at the Hospice Ride last Saturday. Cathy and Marilyn spent Friday night there. Bobby and I picked up a friend's horse and came on down Saturday morning. We got there in time to register, saddle up and join one of the rides. We JUST beat the rain back to the trailhead. The rain started at lunch time and continued. Lynn Palm had to cancel her demonstration, but they raised a lot of money for a good cause. I got to meet a group of people that I had been corresponding with thru Horsecity.com - so that was a lot of fun too. Since the rain didn't look like it was going to let up - Marilyn and Cathy broke camp and headed home after lunch also. That's the day in a nutshell ............ I uploaded pictures to the Happy Trails website and here a link to them. PICTURES

Sunday we spent on the road also......... went to church in Mandarin, took Mom home, drove to Newberry to visit Bobby's mom, took the scenic route back to Mandarin for a church council meeting. By the time we got back home, we had been gone 12 hours ! Whew !

Rain's a coming......

So......we've got this trip planned to go to the Florida Horse Park in Ocala tomorrow. Picking up a friend and her horse, making the 2 hour drive down to meet and greet some HC board buddies...and now the weather says rain and thunderstorms tomorrow. Oh well.......... it's for a good cause - Hospice of Marion County - so we'll go, ride, get wet, eat, meet some new folks and hopefully not get too cold. Cathy and Marilyn have gone down today to enjoy the trails early - they should have some nice weather for riding today. I plan to take pictures of the crowds and the event and will update when we return.
