A few days ago, our family went on a 2 hour horse ride in a canyon. The horses were so cute and well trained. My horse's name was Preacher and he was 25 years old. I'm guessing in "horse years", but I don't know how they compare to human years. Preacher was about 1350 pounds! He was the biggest horse there was... well, heaviest. He was pretty fat. We had such a good time with the horses that I want one now. The bad thing is that during the ride, the horses would poop and then the other would just walk in it... it was disgusting. Other than that, the ride was nice and smooth!!!

We went horse back riding and we went down hills and up hills. Going downhill and uphill, we went super fast! It was lots of fun. My horse was named Poncho. He was pretty small. He was calm but he was also a bit wild at times. He liked to stop for lunch breaks but he wasn't allowed. The horses were pretty.

Horseback riding tours are the best! I didn't know how to horseback ride but now I do. It is so much fun!!!!!!! My horse was white and brown. Her name was Rio. At the beginning, I felt like my horse was moving too fast but she wasn't. After a while, I got used to it. To go forward, we had to give our horse a little kick. To slow down, we needed to pull back on the reins slightly. To turn right or left, we needed to pull the reins gently in that direction. To stop, we needed to pull back all the way and then release the reins. At one point on the trail, Chelsea's horse bumped into my horse and Rio kicked Preacher. It was funny.

Our guide Michelle was great. She helped us learn to ride and shared neat facts during the ride. She told us that the Red Canyon gets the most lightning strikes on trees in the country and pointed out Butch Cassidy's hideout in the distance.

Hey there cowpokes. That looks like a lot of fun. The landscape looks so appropriate. Great pics.
