This picture was taken at Cutty’s Resort in Colorado. They offer horseback riding, and it is by far the best horseback ride I have been on. Most places take you on a mainly flat, well-traveled trail. Here, the trail was well-traveled but not flat. We crossed streams, uphill and downhill, and ducked under tree limbs. I don’t know if it was the advanced trail, but we certainly didn’t just trot along; we had a great time navigating the backcountry on the hour-long ride.
The horse in the picture is named Blue. When we were done, I told her to pose for a picture, so she lifted up her foot and held it long enough for me to snap a shot. Coincidence or a well-trained horse, I don’t know, but I think it is a great shot nonetheless.
