Two and Two Makes... Five?



Yesterday, we rode up Little Mountain (trailhead about 30 minutes from home). I forgot the camera, and the snow on the trail became too deep to continue at about 8000 feet elevation. (The top is 8500 feet.) However, we did manage a 12 mile, 2200 foot elevation gain and loss ride.
The photo above, a rare one of both of us and our horses in one shot, was taken in early May, 2008 on this same mountain. I thought there were 4 of us in the photo, and then I looked more closely and noticed Daisy's head at my side...
And so it goes in my Utah world.

  2. Aw, cute picture, I like how Daisy snuggled herself in there. The horses both look quite noble and pretty.

  3. Beautiful!! You should borrow one of our fillies for a ride. It's a lot of fun! Unfortunately, we can't bring two loose at the same time, as they are independent enough to head out on their own adventures! How old are your horses?

  14. You didn't realize the dog was along for the ride? Must be one seriously low maintenance dog your Daisy! I'd never have to worry about where Tonka was. He's Velcro dog.

    Your world is gorgeous.
