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!

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...

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
