JP Hall Ride





Six riders enjoyed the trails at JP Hall/Bayard Conservation in Green Cove Springs. Although Pinky was without her horse to ride, it was nice to see her astride Clyde the mule. Many of the trails were under water and mucky due to recent rain and logging. We saw numerous loads of trees waiting to be hauled out of the woods, but luckily the logging operation was down for the weekend, so we did not have to deal with any crashing trees or heavy equipment. We stopped for lunch at the picnic area and practiced some trail obstacles - a little bridge to cross and some bleachers to back through and ride through. From our lunch spot we rode to the river and enjoyed the low tide view of the St. John's river. After riding for almost 5 hours, we got back to the trailers, said our goodbyes and look forward to our next adventure. Thanks to Chef Liz for sending us home with homemade strawberry jam!
