Gotta love a nice ride

A few days ago Kyle and I were able to ditch the kids and go for a well needed horse ride. We were told that a few of our cows were spotted down in Phino's cabin when they are supposed to be at Fuller's Bottom. So we saddled up and headed out to the desert in zero degree weather to round them up.

It was so cold, but at the same time it was so nice to be out enjoying winter. The desert is so pretty in the winter and you can't experience it unless you are on your horse (or I guess on foot....but my dad always said a piss poor ride is better than a walk any day).

About a month ago we bought new horse trailer. It is a 2004 hotshot and we LOVE it. We needed a new horse trailer in the worst way (remember when we had 2 cows legs go through the floor of our last trailer 10 minutes after we have just bought them? Yeah, it wasn't pretty when we got to the farm and we had cows with no legs). Needless to say, this trailer was only used 2 times and the rest of the time it was used for storage. It is like brand new. You can see it behind that hottie on that black stallion.

The cows ended up not being ours, but the ride ended being pretty much perfect.

Um, I love hearing the words of wisdom from your dad. Too funny. Oh, and that ride doesn't look like any fun at all. Sorry! Jeff says I am a fair weather rider, and it's true.
