Cowboy Thom

An hour into our mountain ride ride, at 10,000 feet my daughter, me, and cowboy Thom were overtaken by a storm. Heavy rain turned to sleet turned to snow.. My horse bucked with each thunderclap which seemed to be directly overhead. Thom did not hesitate nor faulted. In true cowboy spirit we continued upward.

As we ascended to an overlook we were gifted with a heavenly vista of the grand valley below.

On our return the stream we had crossed had turned into a river, no problem for Thom.

And at the sight of the stables our two horses suddenly broke into full gallop towards the sweet meadow grass... Hold tight !!

The best blessed 4 hours of my life..
