Day 4 PM-Horseback and more

Tuesday, June 24th Evening

Today’s blogging is written by Jack Cobb

It was around four thirty when we arrived at the Diamond P Ranch where all thirteen of us rode on our very own horses. When we arrived they made us sign these papers that pretty much meant if we die or fall off a horse (Hank) we can’t sue them for all the money there worth. If so I would get my very own horsey. But anyway once we signed the papers the instructor showed us how they trained the horses and they showed us how to stop, turn, and make the horse move forwards and backwards, which was quite easy. The next step was sizing us up to a horse that we could fit on. We were finally off. My horse’s name was Ammon, he was beautiful. We then started going on a trail that was already planned out. About halfway through the trail Hank’s Horse bent down for food (my kinda horse) and Hank dropped the reigns and the horse walked off the trail to eat, Hank then yelled and said it was going “crazy”. Our guide then brought the horse and Hank to calm and all was well. When we got out of the woods there was a beautiful view of a seemingly never ending valley and horses along with mountains in the background. Once we arrived back at the ranch we put the horses back in there resting spots for the night and we were off to one of my favorite events of the day……dinner!

Dinner was at the K.O.A. campgrounds and it consists of an absolutely divine steak, a side of baked beans, a roll and potato salad, corn on the Jack (Cobb)and for desert vanilla ice cream. Once we finished eating we set off for some photo ops and that was a great end to our night. Until tomorrow that’s it for now good night and I hope you respond to what a great blog this was goodbye!!!!
