Mary Ann noticed a few interesting plants on this ride.

The cows lurking in the trees.

The horses grabbed a snack while their riders paused to chat.

Watching the cows and calves.

Shirley has 16 or so cows and a bull on the place.

Soldier, the bull.

We wondered if Shorty remembered the farm. He'd been here years ago with Shirley.

The trail ride was another good experience for these two horses, who are going into their first season of hunting.

Proof that Sharon was behind the camera today.

Erika won the gate prize, the metal pumpkin in the background.
