An adventure trail ride Part 2 (final)

August 8, 2010

After the vulture and dead coyote incident we kept going on our trail ride.

I'm going to describe about a hill that everyone loves to go on and whenever anyone goes on a trail ride they wish to go up the big hill! So the big hill is a hill (obviously!) behind a winery called Ehlers Lane Winery and surrounded by vineyards. It is a steep hill where you usually canter or gallop up which everyone loves to do because you get to go really fast with your horse. OK. So now that I have explained to you about the big hill I'm going to finish my story.

So after we passed the vultures and kept going on our trail ride we passed under huge trees and let the horses nibble on some pears. After that I was very excited because Tracee asked me if I wanted to go up the big hill. I was kind of nervous so I thought about it for a second and said sure because I wanted to go up the hill and before I said anything Tracee could kind of tell that I was nervous and so she reassured me and said that it was physically impossible for horses to buck up hill and horses really can't rear up hill either. So now I felt a lot better about going up the big hill and in about 5 minutes we were right there turning around the corner to go up the big hill. There was something inside me that made me be nervous but my adventurism took over.

I thought I would be cantering and galloping up the hill in no second with the wind in my face and my hair blowing but Blossom just trotted up the hill peacefully and quietly but also she went really fast so it was still awesome and very fun! And then we turned around because we were going to back down the other side next to the winery but there were scary noises that the horses were scared of so we just thought we wouldn't take the risk and we went down the big hill---which I never had done before (I think). And they just walked down the big hill because if they trotted or cantered they could trip and hurt themselves because it's so steep.

Then we went back home and I got off and thought to myself, what a wonderful trail ride. I'd do that anytime. I was also thinking what a great story I can tell!
