Hike and Horses

Over three weeks ago some new friends invited our Pastor's family and me to go on a hike followed by a BBQ.  Then the week before it started raining every day but we did not call off the excursions.  We met at Fara and Colin's house and they loaded up their horses and then we headed up to the edge of the Ochoco Mountains to  Lookout Mountain, which is about 15 miles east of Prineville.  The weather was warm even though it was drizzling rain.  We had a great  time even though we got wet and the fellowship and BBQ afterwards were great.  We hope to do it again soon (but maybe it won't rain next time).

Was on the horse about 5 minutes - it was fun but how do you get off?
