9 Pioneers embarked on the Cowgirl adventure today, some more aprehensive than others, some reliving their youth, and some just excited to give it a go. The day started well with Kim-Maree being bitten by a horse as we walked by the stables. It then got even better when we were paired with our horses and then that one decided to take a piece of her thigh! As soon as Coops got on her horse he wanted to take off straight away, I’m sure he stopped just because her squeal scared him! (And yes Coops we don’t have any weight issues, it’s all in your “head”!) Kristy posed for a photo with her horse Glen, who names a horse that anyway!, and Glen got a bit too excited if you know what I mean…. gross! Helga our local cowgirl had the biggest horse ever, with the biggest poo ever! Jenna just wanted to take off at a million miles an hour and couldn’t understand why not. Little Hannah had it nailed after 3 minutes and spent most of the day trying to keep her horse away from Glen’s teeth. Ana had trouble with the trotting and is still wondering how she will sit down for the next week! Taylah and her horse spent the entire trip trying to escape from the group and ride off into the sunset. Felicitie clearly combatted any fears she might have had as she spent most of her trip backwards on her horse trying to calm down Kristy when she was hysterical, and had to deal with her horse that stopped for the longest pee ever recorded! And I’m sure next time Scotty comes she will ensure that she has some kind of head cam as riding a horse and trying to take photos doesn’t quite work! I’m sure there is only 2 usable shots out of 40. Bring on the weekend trail ride trip!
