TRAIL RIDE REPORT

Submitted by Heidi Estep

The Mountain Riders ride on April 28th at the

Long’s Ranch was magnificent. We enjoyed a

cool morning with beautiful spring flowers. Our

group was a mix of experienced riders with

steady steeds and a few of us less experienced

glad to have such a patient and encouraging

group. We crossed sweet smelling meadows,

trickling streams, marshy areas and came upon

cows with babies. Everyone settled into a nice

pace and found the right order so all enjoyed

themselves.

Conversation was abundant and light hearted,

encouraged that the burn scars of the previous

summer were already healing. A wonderful way

to start our riding season, thanks to Mark & Donnelle

Long, Marshall & Robin Long and John & Esther Bell

of Long’s Mariposa Ranch for the continued support

and hosting such a generous opportunity to ride.
