Default Two Girls and their Horses

These are from our camping trip last weekend.

My boyfriend's granddaughter (who insists on calling me grandma), Alyssa, on my mare Sweetpea.


A friend of mine and her daughter.
Like Mother, Like Daughter

The girls being silly. I had to bite my tongue and let them just do it because I remember doing it and I'm still alive.


And...the shot I always get of my geldings ears.

Looks like you guys had fun !! Are two of the shots the same ? We are supposed to go riding this weekend on our camping trip. I can't wait !!

haha never mind you changed them !! Now it really looks like they were having fun ! Plus they were still in the saddle not trying to do tricks where they land on their heads

Default the kids love going to grandma house deep in the woods

These are excellent, a great selection of family pictures, grandma, you are very talented even though what big ears you have, and what big teeth you have, OK you get the idea. Lovely work, well done

I was hoping I'd get to see some shots of your camping trip. Looks like a lot of fun! I've only ridden a horse once in my life and that was in the desert by the Rio Grande near EL Paso. It must be so much greater to ride in a place like the Colorado Rockies!

I love these captures Ftboah, so cleare and sharp. Everyone looks like they are having fun, glad you didn't spoil theire fun especially if you have done the same thing. And they were looking at the view as seen by From The Back of a Horse. Great signature shot at the end too. Great fun..

Jake.
