[RC] Caja Del Rio Ride in NM - Spencer, Maryann LTC (RET) USA

For those in the NM area who missed this ride, you missed and well organized 
one with lots of friendly riders. I confess my horse was not ready for the 30 
but we did a nice 15 orientation as this horse is green, although a 6 yo.  BUT 
I took this TWH B/W mare over rocky terrain barefoot.  I have been working in N 
NM for past 6 months so she was adjusted to the altitude and trails.  We went 
for 'behavior' training as I have been going slowly since being injured last 
Nov when the ^&*()  gelding I was riding bolted and ran thru fences.  Guess I 
will stick with mares.  Anyway, the signs pointing to the ride were well placed 
and easy to read unless you were 'speeding'.....

Again a great ride put on the ride manager but only had about half the riders 
from last yr.  The guess is that the price of fuel is really making a dent in 
traveling.  I know I am looking at the cost of the fuel vs how much I would 
benefit from going before I go anywhere, horse wise or not.  However, there 
were a few that travelled from Lubbock, a bit over 300 miles away.

There are photos put up on the net as there was a nice photographer there, sort 
of nice for us loners who have no one to take photos.  If anyone is interested 
in the photo link, email me privately.
