***Moon River Ranch***
Our ranch is set in the middle of montana and its peaceful here Jenny: *Paquita and I lead Nevada along silently looking at the beauty of the little woods we have at the foot of the mountains before the plains begin. I can hear the creek and I urge Quita into a slow canter, but she bolts. She changes in a split second from a walk to a flat out gallop, and I struggle to bring her into control. I drop Nevada's lead rope, knowing she will be good and follow. Using both hands I pull with my full weight and then release, then pull again and release until I bring her back to a walk and we move back to everyone else.* Sorry about that. *I take up Nevada's lead rope again.* | 1000 wild mustangs & Rusty Horseshoes | 2013-09-06 19:11:08 | | Lucy: I trot Outlaw after the group ponying Winston on my right side . | Starwalker123 & Star | 2013-09-07 00:17:06 | | Brook: I mount river and follow the group, in a canter to catch up. "C'mon River! Lets go to moon river!" (RM: we are going to moon river, right?) | VictorySprinter & Cricket | 2013-09-07 00:18:00 | | Oh my gosh I missed a lot. Sorry guys, school was insane :(
Sollux: I follow the group of horses and riders that were heading out. Ryu seemed quite calm, which is surprising. I would have expected to be bucked off by now. But in a matter of hours, I would be on my way home. I just had to keep quiet about it. After all, what could possibly go wrong?
Equius: Miki was behaving like an angel. Because she's not really used to being around other horses, this was a surprise. I was kind of just staring off into space when suddenly I heard a piercing neigh behind me. I turned around to see Ryu spooking at a low hanging branch. The animal reared up and desperately bucked, trying to get Sollux off his back. I grabbed the reins quickly, settling the spooked horse, then I told Sollux that because Ryu is a flighty horse, he might want to be more attentive in the future. He nodded and I hopped back up on Miki, hoping that the rest of the ride would be free of any more mishaps. | Otaku_Lady & Red Dragon | 2013-09-07 03:34:07 | | RM: yes | DragonShadowCave & Artemis | 2013-09-07 03:34:07 | | Emma: "Alright, see ya on the trail!" *Canters Harmony smoothly onto the trail. Catches up to the rest of the riders and stays behind them.* | AnnaROUaT2 & Snow White | 2013-09-07 19:19:01 | | yeah, moon river's the place.
Jenny: Nope, Paquita is still a little wild. | 1000 wild mustangs & Rusty Horseshoes | 2013-09-07 19:19:01 | | Lucy: "I was herewhen Paquita got here | Starwalker123 & Star | 2013-09-07 22:04:58 | | Emma: *Lets Harmony have her head, relaxing and letting Harmony take the trail on her own.* "Good girl." | AnnaROUaT2 & Snow White | 2013-09-08 17:00:07 | | Jenny: I gotta explain something to ya'll. Once you get to know the "lay of the the land", act like you own the place. I mean, I'm not gonna be a tour guide all the time, and most of you are experienced enough not to do something utterly stupid. So when you get the feel for things, do what you like, mostly, I mean, don't go and try to capture wild horses by yourself, or go scaling mountains on your own, ect, but ya'll will get pretty much free rein of the place. Hey! You hear the river? Come on!! *I nudge Paquita into a fast canter and lean way forward, the wind blowing in my face. We skid to a stop when we come to the creek and I hop off.* Hey! this is the campsite and there's the corral! *I motion to a couple of logs around a fire pit and a wooden corral, full of lush green grass.* Or you can hobble your horse and let 'er go. *I pull my saddle off, sling it over the corral wall. Then I pull off my socks and boots, roll my leans up and leap back on. I urge Quita into a trot and we splash into the creek bareback and barefoot.* OOOOOH! It's cold! *I squeal, laughing. Quita stops to drink suddenly and I slide off into the water over her head.* Wha-!? *I jump back on my feet, the water streaming out of my hair and clothes, then I jump back up onto Quita, laughing all the way* Wow, what a surprise! *Quita paws the water, inviting the other horses in.* | 1000 wild mustangs & Rusty Horseshoes | 2013-09-09 22:38:28 | |
