Thursday, May 9, 2013 – Last Ride Day at Kings Mountain

Headed out by 11:00 with plans to do the entire perimeter loop around the park. This time we put boots on the horses just because we felt some areas might get a little rockier, and because the trip was a longer one. We were glad we did because we did have some rocky climbs up the mountain. It was a lovely ride, this time going clockwise around the loop, instead of a linear line on the counterclockwise loop just to the Visitor Center. We stopped in a few places for a few minutes just for a break, but in the end, the trip was still only just over three hours or so, just right for a “long” trip for us. The horses, again, were brilliant, with no hesitation on anything we asked them to do, and they seemed to enjoy being back in the fold again, too, after such a seemingly long time away. I’m just sorry we have to leave them again for a week for our next (and almost last) bit of business before the summer begins!
