I have gone on a vast amount of trail rides with several different horse. This ride was the first time I had ever taken D. D. (Deanna's Delight) out on one. This trail ride will not ever be able to forget. I have been riding horses for just about 7 years. My horses D. D. and I have been working together for 2 of those years and I have never had a problem with her ever. She is the most calm horse I have ever owned and worked with. Sometimes, with out a saddle or even a bridal and reins, I will run up to her and hop on her back and she doesn't spook at all. I can even put a complete stranger up to her and she will rub her head on them. She also is a junk food junky and will eat any thing from chips to crab rangoon shells to honey & apples, but she won't eat celery because that's just to healthy.
One day my horse leader called and ask if I would like to go on a over night trail ride with her and a few other people and I was excited to go. So when the day can we loaded up D. D. and another horse at the farm named George. As soon as we got to the trail sight it started raining hard, so we tied the horses up and started to wait it out. By the time dinner came it was too late to go on a ride so after dinner we went to sleep.

When it was D. D.'s turn to saddle up she was resistant to stand still. When I finally saddled her she wouldn't take her bit. The rest of the group was ready to go but we were still fighting with D. D. so we told them to go ahead and we would catch up. Once she took her bit I hopped up onto her back. The second I was up, she reared up all the way and I fell hard to the ground. The lovely 15.2 hand drop made my back hurt really bad and I didn't think I would be able to go on the ride. Yet I sucked it up and hopped right back in the saddle and rode her for 3 1/2
There is a trail down the road in Delaware where I enjoy taking my dog for a walk. It is a beautiful, five-mile loop traversing cornfields, thick patches of forest, steep hills and flowing streams; a wonderful place to escape the hustle and bustle of the suburban lifestyle and spend some time amongst the peacefulness of nature. It is not a complete escape, however, for I am not the only person that knows of the trail- it seems to also be a favorite of horseback riders. Often times I will encounter a rider or two at some point during my walk and, without fail, I will be in awe of the size and majesty of the horse. What an incredible, gentle beast it is. Standing next to a horse, you cannot help but gawk at the bulging, toned muscles and long, agile legs. It is truly an athlete with a rare combination of strength and speed. Yet, they are gentle and kind and have therefore been joined at the hip with humans; today, nearly all horses have been domesticated. So I find myself
The Freedom Ride had occurred in 1965 with the aim of drawing attention to poor state of Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders health, education, housing and ultimately, they state of their wellbeing. The freedom ride was a bus trip organized by the students of the University of Sydney. The students had formed the Student Action For Aboriginals (SAFA) in 1964 to plan this trip and had finally did the tour in 1965. Charles Perkins, a 3rd year art student, was made president of SAFA. The Freedom Ride was caused by student of the University of Sydney and there plan to do a bus your around western New South Wales. They had toured to various places such as Walgett, Gulargambone, Kempsey and Moree. They hoped to destroy the barriers between the
At the beginning of the day my mom was going to surprise us by bringing us rock climbing. I was with my sisters, and we were on the trampoline. Our mom walks out onto the deck and says “Do any of you want to go rock climbing.”, and we all said “YES”. We jumped in the car and we drove down to St. Cloud State University.

There have been too many times to count where a horse has taught me a lesson whether it be in the saddle or on the ground. But there are a few horses that have taught me lessons that I'll never forget. Specifically, there was one mare who was named Molly she is a twenty-year-old Saddlebred that was an ex-park horse. Like most stereotypical mares, Molly was more than just challenging to get around with on the ground and in the saddle. Under saddle as soon as you put your foot in the stirrup and pressed any weight into the stirrup you better be prepared to swing your leg over and ride because she was off at the canter or a trot. There was no such thing as a flat walk, nor did you get to choose the gait you rode, it seemed every second of
We went on a few more rides. Twisted Colossus was amazing. We twisted 360˚ a few times and went on steep downhills. Roaring Rapids made us cold. We talked and screamed with kids from other schools as waves splashed us.
There are many unsolved mysteries, and one very famous one is what happened to the nine ski hikers that died in the mystery of the Dyatlov Pass Incident. There are many theories on what happened to them, but the investigators can’t get the options down to one because not all ski hikers died the same way.
I chose to sell her because she could make a little kid just like she made me happy. It was the hardest thing but knowing that her being happy was the best thing I could do and not just keep her just so I can look at her every morning and being selfish. After I sold her I stopped riding horses because I didn't think I could go without her or ride any other horse. When I turned about 12 I started to ride again. Then I started to rodeo again. That's when I started to goat tie and I used my brothers horse Toad because I didn't have a horse that wouldn't stop when I went to get off. When finals came for AFR toad got sick and one night he got bad and we took him to a vet and he died of a heart attack before they could even do anything to help him. In the winter my aunt Stacy gave me a Colt named Buddy, he was broke, all I had to do was train him. So I work and work on him training him. When AFR started back up not only did he get better but so did I and I learned a lot of stuff from him and he learned a lot from me. After a year I finally had my own horse. He might not be like my old horse Maddy but that's
WOW! We are finally here, look at that cool sign. Today, we are at Durhamtown ATV Resort and we are looking for our cabin. Oh, there it is! Now that we have found it, we have to unload the side by sides. First the General comes off the trailer, then the Honda. Now to go get registered. The lady at the counter was really nice and gave us our bracelets.
Motocross Motocross is widely known today for its courses, tricks, and amazing riders. It got its name from the combination of “Motocyclette,” French for motorcycle, and “cross country” (“The History of Motocross Racing”). With its foundation in Great Britain the sport spread throughout Europe, and North America. As time moved on, motocross developed immensely from a simple dirt track to miles of track, from a heavy dirt bike, to a more complex and lightweight bike.
Hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts frequently employ one or several trail cameras to scope out the local wildlife, their activity day and night and favorite locations. With so many options to choose from, it can be a challenge to choose a model that works for your particular needs. Understanding how trail cameras work can help you with that decision.
Located in the Andes mountain range, the trail passes through several types of Andean environments including cloud forest and alpine tundra. Settlements, tunnels, and many Incan ruins are located along the trail before ending the terminus at the Sun Gate on Machu Picchu mountain. The two longer routes require an ascent to beyond 4,200 metres (13,800 ft) above sea level, which can result in altitude sickness.
I have come to love bicycles in the course of the past year. I am especially fond of mountain bikes, including my own. Riding it opens up a whole new world of opportunities and challenges for me. I am still fairly fresh to the whole mountain biking scene, so I push myself to become better with more experience. Riding is an outlet; it is something I can channel pent up energy through. I love the sport because it is a full body, soul, and mind experience that affects all five of the senses.
One morning my dad and I woke up in our hotel room watching the glorious sunrise and were quietly walking down the hallway of the hotel to go to the lobby. In the lobby, there were these huge advertisement banners hanging up that said, "Take a roll through the desert." There were pictures of people riding ATV's in the desert so we decided to go on an adventure.
