Virginia )5)

Today was a typical Sunday morning trail ride in Virginia. People meet up at a designated place, ride around fields and up the sides of mountains for a few hours, and then everyone packs up and goes home!

We rode a loop, around the field into the woods and up a big hill on the woods, back out into the field. Sometimes Serafina and I were in a group of ten and other times just two or three. The hill in the woods is a version of the hill in the woods at Pam thornton's ride, only about five times (if not more!) longer!!!!!

Gary did some sight seeing while I rode in the morning. We spent the afternoon back at Jeannie's farm, learning so much and getting to know some of these wonderful people even better. We watched and learned as everyone else was sorting out the last minute details of preparing for the national endurance ride in Biltmore. Good luck everyone!
