The first day of the wagon train!


Today we rode 15 miles through the foothills of Wyoming. We saw gorgeous views of mountains and farmland. This was the first time our horses were around things like wagons and many many horses at once. At the beginning they were very excited and unsure of horses cantering up around them to pass the wagons. But by the end they were getting used to everything and were calm. Tonight we are staying in old Fair Grounds that are not used anymore. But they still keep it really nice for people who stay overnight. There are about 50 or more trailers and many mules and shires, drafts, and clydesdales. Also, there is a family from the circus here with there horse and miniature ponies that perform with them in the circus. One of the mini ponies has a baby thats always getting into everything. My dad thought it was a dog the first time he saw it and went to pet it then realized it wasnt a dog but a baby pony. Uno thinks hes a stallion on the trail and arches his neck like hes something and calls out for someone even though his 2 girls are there with him. Susie doesn't like a certain team of horses that look just like her and Maggie doesn't care about anything in the world but sleeping and eating. Today when we got in camp it rained a little bit. Here are some pictures of the ride today!
