One gorgeous day this past summer, I was asked to lead a ride in David Canyon for my riding friends, Gin, Yvonne and Dick.
I always enjoy riding in David Canyon, so I met them at the trail head and we headed out.
Behind me, Dick and his gelding, Gin and her mare and Yvonne and her mare.
The trails are very diverse and fun to ride in David Canyon.
There are rocky, steep, narrow, single-track trails.....
And smooth, flat two-track trails.

Dick, Yvonne and Gin.
We stopped for lunch in a beautiful meadow with tall ponderosas that provided welcome shade.
After lunch we continued down the trail.
Apache fell in love with Dick's gelding. She thought he was cute.
All the tree thinning projects over the years are finally revealing their benefits. The forest is open and inviting and the grass and wildflowers are flourishing.
I mapped out a fun loop for our group to ride, with a wonderful mix of terrain and vegetation.

Back at my trailer, post-ride, my beautiful Apache mare enjoying a cool drink of water.
Another fabulous ride with great trail partners and fantastic horses!
Life is Good!
