Another Great Ride in Jennings

A day in Jennings State Forest on horseback is always good! Five of us got together on Saturday for a morning ride; it really wasn't too hot and the bugs were so-so. We set a camera up on a post to get a self portrait of the group.

Marilyn had her horse, Spirit, all decked out in red bandanas to help ward off the flies - she says it works.

Cathy borrowed Anna's TWH, Layla, for a first time experience that we think she really enjoyed. Here's a video of her first ride on a gaited horse.

Sal Taylor Ride

It seems that lately, we don't have a "defined" group anymore, which is just fine. We all communicate via e-mail and whoever can ride, rides. It's working out great. Our fellow riders on the "TROT" Yahoo group communicate a lot and join us when they can. (Of course, a good portion of them are also FCTB members as well.) Anyhoo....a few of us got together for a Saturday morning ride at Sal Taylor Creek Preserve which is a city preservation project. We rode as a group for about 2.5 hours and then Michelle S and Michele F took off again for another ride. Here's some more photos that Michelle took during our ride..... PHOTOS

Ravines Ride Photos





Today turned out to be almost picture perfect for a trail ride. Six of us got started early enough to beat the heat and believe it or not, the bugs were not bad at all. KD, Traci, Michele F, Michelle S, Coralee and Susan all hit the trail right around 8:30 am and headed out on the red trail first. After looping around we

came down the powerlines towards Black Creek to get the open, hot part of the ride done early. After we played in the water for a bit, we headed back on the yellow trail along the creek, finally winding up on the white trail that comes up behind the golf course and back to the trailers. We only rode for 2-1/4 hours, but it was a good time. Traci was riding a horse she has in for training and he was a champ as well. She took the opportunity to turn some spooks into training sessions along the way. (click on any picture to enlarge)

Stay Tuned

With the holiday weekend and busy schedules, we were not able to commit to a group ride for May. As the weather gets hotter, many members will choose to wait until fall to get back out on the trails. A few, however will plan some early morning rides and we will post those as they come up.

April Ride - CANCELLED

RIDE CANCELLED - STAY TUNED FOR MAY RIDE

We will be at St. John's Trailhead to ride and camp on April 19th and 20th. This is south of Palatka on the road going to Rodehaever Boy's Ranch (just after the big bridge). Ride out time will be approximately 10 am. If you can't come for both days - please come for a day ride. There is primitive camping with water and a porta potty - no corrals or stalls so you will have to tie out or bring a portable corral.
