Well Keith and I and our horses Dream and Ladybug all just got back from our ACTHA ride this weekend. This is the second ride that Dream and I have been to this month, but Keith and Bug haven't been on the trails since about November. The first ride was in Socorro last Sunday and the second was in T or C this President's day weekend.
The ride camp this weekend was at the Caballo State Park and was hands down the BEST camp site EVER. I mean who wouldn't want easy access to water faucets, Electric hookups for the vast majority of the participants, flush toilets AND access to showers! I know it sounds silly, but it's pretty much luxury camping. I'm so happy I got to use my horse trailer heater/AC for the very first time in the year I've owned the trailer. I'm also really happy my heater works so well. I got a generator as a Christmas present so the next ride I go on I'll be able to use it also to run my heater.
Here we are at the river crossing
And then again at the crossing the bridge obstacle.
Sounds like lots of fun!!

ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! Love the reflection on the water crossing pics.
ReplyDeleteGREAT pics! That was my first ACTHA ride but now I'm hooked! It's a lotta fun. :)
ReplyDeleteYes Kate these ACTHA rides are just plain fun. I've been to most of the rides in the state in the past 2 years. I like the fact that it's more like a fun ride with friends old and new with spots of competition mixed in. It's not like going to a show and having all that constant competition pressure. I didn't get any photos of the Sweethearts ride at San Acacia yet. This one was the next weekend further south.
