Palm Bluff, Volusia County

If you've never ridden at Palm Bluff, definitely check it out.  It is located off 415 on the way to Daytona from Geneva (or vice versa).  It's a working cattle ranch so you'll see lots of cows and there are a couple of gates to be opened and closed. 

It's a pretty ride and we usually get in 11 or so miles.  This was my first weekend riding OPH (Other People's Horses) and today's victim was Lisa Dietrich's Arabain Kai.  He is a pistol and tried to get me off during the first few minutes while still at the trailers.  After that he did just fine.  He reminds me of riding a pogo stick - bounce, bounce, bounce.  He does have a lovely canter and since he's small he canters most of the time to keep up. 

Joining us on the ride was Caren Stauffer on Jake, Liz Kanan on Amora and new friend Bob (in the green shirt), and Gayle King on Coup.  Lisa was off to Dog Island so I got her horse! 

There were several places to water the horses and as you can see they were having a good time splashing each other and us!

Stayed tuned for more fun on the trails!
