Wow! Two great riding weekends.. Super camping (except for the ticks...) and outstanding riding. Weather was perfect! Again thanks go out to our landowners for their generosity in letting us camp and ride, and to Company 16 for providing logistics once again, including burgers and dogs on the beach! And to our great friends who camped and rode with us...Aren't horse people great?
ARE WE LUCKY OR WHAT!!?? OUR NEW PHOTOGRAPHER, ALEX TIETHOF, WAS ON THE BEACH AGAIN FOR OUR BONUS MAY RIDE! He'll have his very cool magazine covers ready to make you a star! Have you seen his work? Here's the link to his website- http://www.aktpics.com/Events/Equestrian
