Winter Is Here

Tess - the newest addition to the herd - enjoying the warmth of the Arizona morning sun.
You can always tell when the warm weather has left for good, because guests arrive and the riding starts in earnest. We had a steak dinner for 12 last weekend, which was the official launching of the season. We got to ride with Gene and Sue Nance and Clydea on Sunday.

Judy arrived on Thursday from Montreal; Steph and John arrived on Saturday evening with Rhett and Jose and our new mare, Tess. We awoke this morning to a cloud dust - Jack was terrorising the new arrivals.

We headed up to Camp Creek today, Sunday. Judy rode Redford and they are a good match. Bill rode Jack, Rusty on Rocky and I rode Far the Scar.

It was a good day.

The mare is beautuful and exotic. I think I like her :).

We also had a ride yesterday out to Barb's Loop:
