Horsing Around

We headed to Iowa to the Gray Farm for our own mini horse camp. In the end riding horses was just one of the fun things we did. We also went for a ride in canoes in the river, and had a bonfire/cookout up in "Deer Park" near the horse pasture. You can find more photos of our fun by clicking the link to Susie and Jon's blogspot.

The four musketeers L to R: Jon Dyke, Me, Jonathan, and Susie Gray Dyke all riding Jon and Susie's beautiful paints. These four horses are all geldings, brothers, and colts out of Susie's mare Vanna that she rode back in our 4-H days.

Jon riding Rio and Susie riding Ranger leading the way through the farm fields and timber all over the Gray Farm. We rode for about 2 hrs. and covered a lot of ground.
We ended down near the river that was outside it banks from all the recent rain. It was a hot day and it felt good to ride through knee deep water. This is Jonathan riding Chief and I was on Machio. What fun to ride again. I'm sure we will be back for more horsing around soon!
