Hi All!
A girth! Last summer. Too far to trailer back and it was too beautiful a
day not to ride. So, with all the poise of someone who had planned to ride
bareback on the trail, off I went for a much shorter and slower ride. Other
trail users didn't quite know what to make of me in my enduro gear (hard
hat, riding tights, fanny pack, ariat boots, etc) with only a snaffle bit
and set of reins on my horse--I did get double-takes along the line of
'what's wrong with this picture'. I had a good laugh and never, ever forgot
my girth again. I also do a check list before heading out, but inevitably,
something gets misplaced.

of the Rockies!
