Last year when we drove to the coast, passing through rich
pasture lands, my teenage daughter pointed to some horses and yelled, “Horse
buddies, hell yeah!”
The joke was that she was adopting the persona of a young, exceptionally
earnest horse enthusiast who knew not a shred of modesty.
We enjoyed the joke for a full year before realizing that
all of us did indeed like horses, perhaps just not as much as our jest implied.
We needed to ride.
Cementing our desire to get back in the saddle was the Bob’s
Burgers episode about
Tina going to horse camp. We figured
if the fictitious Tina could ride a horse, so could we.
We went to the Double
Mountain Horse Ranch and signed up for the ride called “Fruit Loop” – an appropriately
named ride for our family.
Great horses, great people, breathtaking scenery, a truly
exceptional day!
No riders or horses were harmed in the creation of this
post.
I proclaim stoke for the horse named Blaze who
good-naturedly allowed me to ride on his back.
