We had a great trail ride today on the Marie Creek Trail just out of Couer d'Alene, Idaho back up in the hills behind Wolf Creek Lodge. Katie turned around so I didn't have a picture of her back. She rode Raven because she did not get around to having a coggins done on Abby. That was OK. Raven loves to go.
The sign where we go up the trail where it gets a little dicey if you are not used to riding narrow trails with a lot of switch backs. Poor Bea, she got so scared. I felt bad for her.
Bea's friend who came and rode with us. I did not catch her name and that is embarrassing.
Bea riding her mustang Cody. He would have done a little better if she would not have been so scared. She was shaking like a leaf.Anyway it was a good day. Got a little warmer than comfortable but we all made it.
