TRAIL RIDE REPORT
Submitted by Heidi Estep
The Mountain Riders ride on April 28th at the
Long’s Ranch was magnificent. We enjoyed a
cool morning with beautiful spring flowers. Our
group was a mix of experienced riders with
steady steeds and a few of us less experienced
glad to have such a patient and encouraging
group. We crossed sweet smelling meadows,
trickling streams, marshy areas and came upon
cows with babies. Everyone settled into a nice
pace and found the right order so all enjoyed
themselves.
Conversation was abundant and light hearted,
encouraged that the burn scars of the previous
summer were already healing. A wonderful way
to start our riding season, thanks to Mark & Donnelle
Long, Marshall & Robin Long and John & Esther Bell
of Long’s Mariposa Ranch for the continued support
and hosting such a generous opportunity to ride.
