Birthday ride (pics)

[DebbieS]

A friend of mine lives about a mile from the Centennial Trail in SD. It's about 120 miles long. It's not groomed like the Mikkelson trail, but it's very pretty and gives the horses quite a work out. We only rode about 2.5 hours. The weather was wonderful - about 70 degrees and there's still a bit of snow on some of the trail.

This is an old storage building where they used to keep fire-fighting equiment:

You can see the trail is pretty steep at times:

Listo was totally addicted to the ironwood leaves:

I have to report that Listo showed no lameness or swelling at all. I think he's 100%, good as new!!!

Looks like a great time Debbie! Beautiful place to ride. All our mountain trails are still under snow and will be for some months. We just got 3 more feet of snow above us...so it's time to ride in the desert here.

I'll be riding today...can't wait!! :-))))))
