Don Trollinger went on his first trail ride after his fall back in July. Cynda Mathis went on her first Fox TROT ride as well. It is good to see both of these in the saddle. (I did not have my camera when we went out with Cynda. If someone has a picture of her on Velvet please post it or send to me for posting. Sorry, Cynda.) (There are no pictures of me either; I was always behind the camera!)
The fellowship after the rides was fun as well. We always find something or someone to tease or be teased. Of course, Terry is usually the instigator!
After a trail ride, the evening meal is always welcomed. The Mexican restaurant in Stevenson, Alabama was good for 2 nights, the prepared meals at camp were delicious one night, but the highlight was the "pot luck" on Friday night! Everything was soooo good! I think the pot luck should become a Fox TROT tradition!
Finally, I should comment about our host camp ground. The Bolo Club in Sherwood, (south central) Tennessee is a great place to camp and trail ride. This is a developing horse camp with much potential. Charles, the owner, was a gracious host who was very eager to meet our needs and was interested in our input as to the future development of the facility. George, the "Trail Boss", was a great trail guide leading us through the woods and along the ridges and cliffs. They have plans to make additions to the facilities and expand the network of trails. The "Pavilion" is second to none with comfortable couches and recliners, large tables and chairs, a big screen TV, and a warm log fireplace. The bath house is clean and very comfortable as well. Follow the progress of The Bolo Club at http://www.theboloclub.com/ and make plans to ride there with your other trail riding companions!
