Big Scary Bridge!!

Since my laptop died on me 2 weeks ago and I didn’t have access to my pictures/video – the updates I wanted to post got delayed! Of course, now, it’s been weeks since those rides so I’m just going to post a couple pictures and the video’s and call it good!!

Becky and I took Zandy and Louie up to the Wildlands to spend a GORGEOUS afternoon on the trail! We explored a road we hadn’t yet been down and came upon this new, big, VERY scary bridge! Louie was very forward and walked right out onto the bridge – I was a wreck but he couldn’t have cared less until Zandy thumped her big feet on the bridge behind him!! He flinchedHPIM1184 a little but kept on going! Zandy and Becky made it across and we had a gorgeous ride!!

B and I both loved this rock. If you look closely you can see the rather TALL tree growing ON TOP of the rock – you can see the roots coming down the back side. There are several smaller trees up there too – we were both fascinated with this rock!

B and Zandy looking happy – this picture was actually supposed to be of the tree that B is looking at. Looks like a Porcupine has been chewing on the bark – but Louie was moving and I got B and Zandy which is a good thing because the next picture I took was supposed to be of the two of them and yet B’s eyes were closed and Zandy was looking away and unimpressed!!!

The scary bridge on our way back. It’s a very nice bridge and I am actually excited to go back and ride over it again – probably sounds silly but once my irrational “oh god we’re going over the edge” thoughts disappeared it was FUN!!

Video’s of the two brave ponies. Zandy was pretty insistent that she needed to walk down the MIDDLE of the bridge where there is only one layer of planks.
