>>>> Karen, tell Debbie! Yes, ma'am... :)
There is no shortage of trails to ride from Anneliese's farm. I remember one day we rode for 3-4 hours in the morning, came back in for Anneliese's yummy soup for lunch, and we went back out for another 2-3 hours that afternoon - not riding the same trails. I don't think we've ever ridden a fraction of the trails...and if we ever did ride them all, Anneliese would just take us off-trail, riding through the woods...oh, wait, I think we did that last time! That was fun - at least until my hip cramped up and I had to get off and walk a while. I was riding Melnir's lovely sister Vinda that time. (We jumped a log on the off-trail - that was fun.) These may not exactly be Man From Snowy River trails, but they aren't easy/beginner trails either. Oh, I guess some places are pretty easy, but there are some pretty darned steep climbs on some of them. The elevation isn't nearly as high as, say, the Appalachians, but some grades are still fairly steep. I remember one trail where we had to walk beside a drop into a creek, with a fence on the other side - I'm pretty sure we didn't have more than 3-4 feet of trail. Sure, it wasn't exactly a Grand Canyon drop, but maybe - what, Anneliese? 10 feet? More than I'd want to fall anyway! (for some reason, I actually enjoyed that part - probably because I was riding Anneliese's dear old Venus, whom she sadly lost a couple of years ago.) I've taken a few pictures of the trails in the past, but most are wooded, so the pictures never came out very good. Trust me, though - they are fun trail to ride. We've ridden with her in April, May, late October and late November - always cool, but always nice. Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
