Very nice, as soon as we get the Spring weather chance (anytime now) riding horses will be fun again. I am not good enough to do it in the cold...

Jesse & Kathy:
It is a great place to ride and enjoy the outdoors. It's a way to temporarily escape the everyday doldrums.
BLR Guy:
The horses do enjoy going out on the trails. It gives them a change of scenery, too. It gives Eddie, my Thoroughbred, a spring in his step when he goes out. He especially enjoys the part where he can just run.
Charles:
I haven't really ridden now that the cold has set in. As soon as it starts to get warmer, I will be back out riding. GUARANTEED!!
Christina:
Thanks! It is so enjoyable to ride, or hike, through the park and just take in nature and what it has to offer.
