Hello Everyone!James and I just returned from a really fun time with Lea at Big South Fork.
Lea is working on her new Fox Den Retreat. Wow!!! What a cool place to have to just chill and enjoy your horses with all of the local fabulous trails.
Lea has just put in a barn with tack room---and graciously gave our two boys, Bear and Rowdy, first sleep-over rights.
Lea became our expert horse guide, and so after a hard day's work on the trail---I put on my chef's hat and we ate meals that would make a true ranch-hand "purty darn" jealous.
Then after stuffing ourselves, we enjoyed the playful tactics of "Jody", Lea's 4-month old Norwich Terrier.
James worked his magic on Lea's group of wonderful horses. Shortly after, Smokey decided to have one last scratch and roll, right in the hay, of course!
Cindy, watching her "Mom", Lea. Only we horse
lovers can truly appreciate that bond!
While trail riding we encountered a bear that only Lea witnessed, but as the bear went crashing through the woods, we believed her! Plus, the paw print sizes left were quite LARGE. Actually, we saw plenty of bear evidence along the trails---always makes one a bit on the alert side.
We had some back-flashes of BB guns, Deliverance, Chatty Cathy, and more---will just have to explain those one day while sitting around the campfire.
Because of Lea, James and I had the pleasure of meeting another of our FoxTROT members, Jamie Whiteaker, a well-known MFT breeder. Jamie is currently showing a couple of her mares at AVA. It is always so nice to be able to put a face to the name! In the short time we all talked, Jamie had quite a bit of input on our MFT organization and what sounds like, some great ideas. Jamie said she just really loved to trail ride---our kind of person!
As the weekend progressed, we found out, like Sam has said, Lea seems to know an endless amount of horse friends and acquaintances. "Everybody" knows Lea!!!!
All in all, it was a great Labor Day weekend.
Great memories with FoxTROT friends!
Moira
