Trail Log: 1-4-2025

 

Dan and Robyn

  • Trail: State Land and N. Eagle Eye
  • Miles: 10
  • Riders: Self - Celia - Dan - Robyn
  • Horses: Jack & Drifter - Dirt - Reba - Bullseye
  • Dogs: Groot - Boo

Notes: First trail log of 2025. Where did 2024 go? Somebody said the days go by slow and the years go by fast. I find that BS - the days go by fast as well! I try to find a way to slow down time and all I can think to do is get a job I don't like. That will drag out the years.

Dan and Robyn are up for the winter from Idaho. We rode behind my place onto State Land. I saddled Jack for that ride. He's two weeks into being barefoot and is already moving better than he did with shoes. 

Swapped horses and picked up Celia for a pre-shoot-day ride N. of Eagle Eye. We took a little different path and hit the jackpot of desert treasures. I found an old (probably 1950's heart shaped tin, a percaline bottle and a nice antler shed! Figures it would be the one day I didn't have my saddle bags. We stashed the tin to pick up on the way home - crammed the bottle in my phone pouch, stuffed my phone down my waistband and tied the antler to Drifters saddle. 

The pre-shoot-day ride paid off as Drifter and I were 1 of 37 shooters out of 120 that shot clean to bring home a little extra cash. Pretty good start to the New Year.
