    Horseback Riding Trip

    October 19-21, 2007

    The Troop got together the weekend of October 19th to go on a horseback riding trip at Sunnyside Stables near Deep Creek Lake, MD. As there was no school that Friday, a lot of us were able to get up to camp early to get a head start on setting up. The rest of the group met us there Friday night. After breakfast on Saturday, we all headed out to the stables in order to meet the horses and work on the requirements for the Horsemanship Merit Badge. After working on the requirements, we got to go out on a trail ride, gosh, the trees were beautiful! When we got back, we cleaned up the horses and put stuff away. Everyone on the trip earned the merit badge! We also had some time for fishing and relaxing in camp. Great trip!

    What, time to get up already?

    Lets get warm while we're waiting for breakfast

    Scrambled eggs, yum

    Hmm, what's in the bottom?

    I don't know, but I'll take anything you don't want

    Horsies!

    More horsies!!

    Ok, the inevitable meeting...

    Turn around and pay attention

    Last minute instructions

    And we're off to learn about the horses

    This is the front end

    And he's up

    Ok, what next?

    Next rider up...

    Always check your blind spot before changing lanes

    Yo, look, we're moving!

    One of the big Boy Scouts

    Please don't give me a ticket

    Looks like he is off to the races

    This is fun!

    Some of the tools used to care for the horses

    Nice shot of the campsite

    On a car, this would equate to the exhaust

    Learning about caring for the the horses

    Ooh, that feels good

    Watch this...

    Adjusting the foot rests, 'er, I mean stirrups

    Hold on here

    Swing up...

    ...and over. There, you're on!

    The horse looks asleep here

    Quick, run for the gate

    More adjustments

    Is there an ant crossing here?

    We're going!

    Catch up to the rest of the group

    Does that horse have its head on backwards?!

    Happy Trails Again...

    Does someone have a step-stool?

    Whew, made it

    Go, horse

    Oh, look, a joy stick to drive with

    Oops, that was the horn

    I hope that the horses didn't leave any surprises in camp

    Here is the view from the horse on the back of the pack

    Man, that's pretty...

    This one too...

    It don't get much better than this

    Don't forget to close the gate

    What a beautiful day

    Is this what is called a "rear view" mirror?

    Turning right up ahead

    Yea, this looks like a nice place to walk

    Oh, another turn

    Another nice view

    Nice trail

    This sure is fun

    Nice line, too bad that can't do this in school

    Check out the trees

    Thanks for being the adult advisor for this trip!

    Where is the brake release?

    There, now I am ready

    Slight adjustment needed

    Okay!

    Lean to the right

    Looks good

    You're ready

    Another group heads out

    I'm cool

    Ponies!

    I did it!!!

    I like the little horsie

    Smile for the camera

    Ok, enough smiling, look where you're going

    Time to catch some fish

    Any luck?

    Naw, but it sure is fun trying

    Listen up all, ya' hear?

    Who spilled the trash?

    I don't know, but it's a mess

    All done?

    Yep, see you next trip!
