Withlacoochee Fall Trail Ride

My friends and I had a great weekend near Jasper, FL riding along the Withlacoochee River and the Twin Rivers State Park. We went to McCulley Farms for their annual fall ride along with about 200 other like minded folks. We had wonderful cool weather, warm campfires, entertainment and great food to boot!
I got graphics put on my trailer to match our brand while I was there and I really like it. We joined their long guided ride on Saturday with 32 other riders and enjoyed a 4-5 hour ride along the river and sinks. We stopped at a spring along the way for a catered lunch....yum, yum!

Several different groups met up for lunch and then continued on their separate ways to meet back up at the ranch for a tack/yard sale. I was able to sell my Australian saddle in less than 5 minutes of setting it out! It paid for my weekend and my graphics - what a deal!

Due to the major flooding earlier in the year, we passed a refrigerator in one tree and a recliner in another. The McCulleys have a wonderful place and are very gracious hosts - if you ever get a chance, join them for one of their special rides or you can camp quietly any other weekend during the year. There are plenty of trails and you can camp with electricity or primitive.

Here are the rest of the photos that my friends and I took during the weekend.

Whoooee! You're right, that's some serious flooding for that freezer to get that far up in a tree. Wow!
I bet it's great to get out and hike in the fall, in Florida, enjoying the cooler weather, lower humidity and lack of bugs.
I also think it's neat that your trails seem to be all flat. Ours are usually rocky and often steep.

So, why were you getting rid of your Aussie saddle? I've been eyeing them for a while. They look so comfy.

Congrats on the new logo. I never noticed that ZO brand on your horses before. Kinda cool!
