Christmas Face Full of Dirt

Merry Christmas has come and gone.

Through December we didn't get to ride very much. But finally last weekend, we took the horses to the big park, only to find it was closed!

The only other place we could think to go was many miles away, so we hit the interstate and drove to Sarasota and Myakka State Park. 20 bucks to get the trailer and horses in, and it was already 3pm. They close at sunset.

No problem, we figured we'd ride for an hour .. or two.

As it turned out, we tacked up, and got about a mile down the trail..... and one of those Killer Armadillos must have followed us from DeSoto....

Jackie pulled a u turn, dumped Peggy. Bo turned to bolt and slammed on brakes to miss Peggy and pivoted, then pivoted again and there I went off.

So we both got up spitting dirt to see the horses galloping down the trail..

This is getting OLD.
