Event at Rebecca Farm, July 24th

Today Carol and I spent the day at Rebecca Farm. Gorgeous weather, but I wouldn't complain if we would get a good rain storm, we sure need it.
The riders and their horses travel from all over the world for this event. If you're ever in the area or Flathead Valley is home, you definitely need to spend at least a day at this event. WOW!
Enjoy the photos.

Flying horses.

This horse just hit the brakes. Finally on the 3rd try they made the jump.

 

Dressage was impressive, after Carol told me what was going on.

Taking off up a forest service road

I rode with our neighbor, Larry , in his side by side Yamaha. 

Taking a break and checking out an old mining trail.

Along an old mining trail in a deep ravine.

Water was running in this ravine from an old spring

Working our way back up to the forest service road and back to the trailers.
