HOME - Across the Water

Would it be ridiculous to own a farm on one side of the River and a cottage on the other side?  Let me rephrase that....Would it be ridiculous for MY BANK to own a farm on one side of the River and a cottage on the other side? 

Gary and I went for a drive today, just to get away.  Next thing we knew, we were on the other side of the River taking pictures of the farm:


See that little yellow horizontal stripe in the picture...that's the indoor riding arena.  The building closer to the shore is Buddy's camp, just beside our place.  Best I could do with the camera I had.

Now, one thing led to another and of course, we went for a walk on the beach...

Take a look at that beach.  Can you guess what I started thinking about?  Of course!  What a great place for a horse!  Well, from then on, we started to put a loop together, and what a pretty loop it would be to ride.  We could start on the beach and the dikes...




And then, at the end of the dikes, there is a beautiful road connecting and "looping" the ride.  (We all know how much I detest going back the way I came!)
So, here is the only question left to answer -- do we throw the horses in the trailer the next nice day we can....or do we all pile in cars and drive over to "plan" the ride.  We had a lot of fun "planning" today - not the same type of fun as riding but it was fun!

Oh, and back to my original thought......shouldn't even be a question until I've ridden over here at least 20 times because in the end we all know....it's all about the riding!

    1. Just be careful of soft spots on the beaches over around here. They are not obvious until your horse drops into one! Beautiful pictures Lynn!
