Our maiden voyage with our new UTV. It is something I have always wanted and constantly made up a reason not to get. With a recent health scare, I decided we were put here not to be afraid of taking risks, but to live life to the fullest. I always thought it was the things in life that we did that we eventually regretted. I soon realized that it is actually the things we didn't do, out of fear or anxiety, that we end up regretting. We only get one chance at life. There are no reset buttons, only a game over. I am going to try and get my one chance right.
P.S. I always have to name my vehicles. Just like a boat, everything must be named. Meet Tempy (Temperamental). :)

Today, we decided to go on a little ride in the mountain. We discover so many beautiful paths and this one especially, in the forest.
This Fjord girl is one of the best trail horse we got at the Ranch, always happy to bring her out.

Cline Lake near the Rocky Mountains of Alberta has been one of our favorite trail riding spots for years. This fall (2008) we were not disappointed when we rode over the hill and saw the lake. In large view, you can see the rippling of the water surface caused by small fish feeding.
Thank you, my friends, for all your comments and awards. They are very much appreciated.

We are cloud chasers,
Eagle trackers, stream stomping,
Forest folk.
We are wind talkers,
Meadow dancers, cliff gazers,
Campfire coffee drinking sunrise greeters.
We love a saddle squeek,
A nicker neigh, a mane toss.
A saucy tail flag and a snort.
Ears perked forward, moving out,
Clip of hoof clops in your head.
Feel the rein, foot in stirrup
Oh the sway sway of a slow lope.
TRUST, FREEDOM. JOY.
So many moments, so many miles,
so many trails, so many smiles.
Just you, and some very special friends.
Happy Trails!
describes my ride on Pete this morning. What a great guy. Three hours and when I got off him, all that hurt . . . were my knees. Ha ha, you thought I was gonna say my butt hurt, didn't you? Anyway, he was good and got a great work out. I trotted him almost constantly. He'll have bulging muscles if we keep this up. This is my dream horse! We went all over the place this morning and he just goes right along without a problem. Awesome guy.

I don't usually get to many pictures of me on my horse, since I am the one behind the camera. I barrowed this one from my mom who took this picture! I was chosen to lead the group in prayer and lead the way on the path. Why, I don't know, I had never been to this place before. But, I got us back to camp in one piece and never took a wrong turn. :))

If I were a braver man I would've taken the TW200 into the woods behind the highway. Maybe I'll give it a shot in the spring :)
This is a 1989 Yamaha TW200 with numerous cosmetic mods including a round LED headlight, wire tuck "hollow mod" and a minor exhaust upgrade with a stainless steed TTR225 header and DG exhaust.
