• We did it, we rode ponies...

    So this afternoon we did get a 2 hour ride on Icelandic horses. When we started out it was raining so they gave us orange rain pants. But as soon as we got underway the sun came out for most of our ride. Lots of blurry pictures by Les. As short as these horses are, it still took 3 men and a boy, OK only one helper to get me on the horse. We rode long a stream, crossing it couple of times. My horse was called Sol and Les’s was Svaki (a horse use in the cable show "Game of Thrones". Ended at a small waterfall and everyone got off their horse except me...I wasn’t going to chance that I would have to walk back. I made my step goal! Well maybe it doesn’t count when the horse does the walking. We or the horses went faster back to the barn. Both Les and I were actually galloping at times. It was easier on the bottoms. Fun and just enough of a ride to not be sore.Read more
