Weekend Warriors

After teaching lessons AND running a successful birthday pony party on Saturday, Nick and I did a day-trip to the beach on Sunday with horses in tow. Originally just a girlfriend and I were going to go, but Nick invited himself and Lilah along, then our friend invited her boyfriend, then another friend and her hubby came along .... and next thing you know we ended up as a group of us going. The men-folk stayed behind at the camp site to man the beer and watch the kid (Lilah), while us girls toodled up and down the beach on horseback at Nehalem Bay.

The camp site which we invaded for the day:




The bestest horses in the Whole Wide World -- Sweet P. & Barry
Once out on the beach, Barry forgot he was an old horse. It was fun seeing him so lively! Beth and I took turns riding him and we had our hands full!
Jessica on Calina:



Group shot. Nothing like scaring the day-lights out of a pedestrian when you approach them on horseback to ask them if they could take a picture....

After Beth and I switched horses:






Hope to go back at least twice more this summer....
