Trail Log: 12-27-2024

•  Trail: N. Eagle Eye
• Miles: 4.89
• Riders: Self - Celia
• Horses: Drifter - Dirt
• Dogs: Groot

Notes: Celia is back in the saddle after a month of quarantine. Some of the horses on her place had a cough so she kept them away from others to be on the safe side. We took an easy ride north on Eagle Eye where the footing is good. Even though we could really use the rain here - the weather has been great for being out. 

I didn't take any pictures (weird) but here's one of Drifter today after our CSJ. We were one of 11 clean shooters. This is Drifters 3rd shoot and 2nd win. Proud of my pony.

Hey - we have the same shoes

• Trail: N. Eagle Eye - Harcuvar Mnts. 
• Miles: 11
• Riders: Self - Cindy G
• Horses: Jack - Sassy
• Dogs: No dogs

Notes: What better way to ring in the month of December than horseback in the Harcuvar Wilderness Mountain Range. I drove to Cindy's place which lies at the base of the "sleeping giant." We rode out from her place and headed North toward the mountain range. It gets really...really rocky at the base. The horses picked their way through sharp rock and the ever present cholla forest. We rode up to a mine tailings and looped back toward a rock outcropping with a large cave/overhang. We tied up here and explored a little before heading back. Instead of going back the way we came - we looped around to the west and made our cross country in the general direction of home until we hit the road leading to Cindy's. Mostly sunny and a high of 74° is just one of the reasons I now call this country home. 

Hmm...saddle could use a dusting
