On Thursday we had a Ride n' Swim at Western Ridge with our troop. Summer is difficult to plan any adventures, as the kids are on vacation all over the place, so we weren't sure if we would be able to put this together, but we finally managed it and the kids had a great time! We didn't get to do this last year, so the girls were very excited to do it this year! Our first group of riders were Serenity, Jordyn, Kit Kat, Kelsey and me.
They dont allow you to take photos during the ride (as a rider), so you'll just have to trust me that the ride was beautiful! Wild flowers all over the place...lovely terrain, and of course a few stubborn horses. My horse, Thor, thought he had to eat every 2 minutes, and Serenitys horse Daisy, was having gas issues (and yes, I was stuck behind her horse) :)
Jordyn enjoyed some quality time with Cajun, while the next group of kids suited up for the ride!
Marina, Oriana, Ellie and her brother Henry rode with Ms. Angie for the second round. Marina was very excited to get started!
And as they were heading off on their adventure, Marina gave me this thumbs up to let me know she was good to go! Have fun guys!
While kids were riding, we had a couple of parents at the pool so that the kids could enjoy pool time as well....hence, the ride n swim :)
The clouds rolled in and it cooled off a bit, but the kids didn't seem to mind....blue lips and all! We had a few siblings join us for the pool, and the kids played for hours.
For lunch we enjoyed pizza, and as the afternoon cooled off, we called it a day! What a great time we all had! Thank you for a fabulous time as always Western Ridge....you guys ROCK!
