Heaven's First Ride - Checking out Chuluota!

Heaven came home yesterday and today (yes, today) we took her out for her first trail ride.  She settled in as soon as I got her to the house so no better time than today (since I have to go back to work tomorrow) to try her out! 

 She did so great.  She was not spooky (at least not a lot, if the other horses jumped, she jumped).  She was a little afraid of one of the neighbor's dogs but he was acting crazy.  She didn't know he had an invisible fence collar and wasn't going to eat her. 

We rode through the Chuluota Wilderness - the dry parts - and then out onto the Lee Ranch (now Charles Bronson State Forest).  Always a great place to ride and today was no exception.  We didn't ride far, but we had a great time.

Heaven even took the lead at a fast trot on the way back.  So, it was me on Heaven, Caren on Slim, Gayle on Coup - who is headed to training for a month at Mary Nords - and Lisa on Charm (affectionately referred to as Trouble). 

Everyone is taking off to different destinations for the 4th - Have a great  Fourth of July - but at least Caren and I will be hitting the trails.
