The Girls from Snowy Rafael

OK, so it didn't snow in San Rafael, but today we went horseback riding for the first time and coincidenly enough "The Man from Snowy River" was on this afternoon so I thought I'd steal the title. For those who haven't seen the movie its one of the better horse riding movies I've ever seen.

As for the Jones cowgirls, they both did great their first time out. We went for an hour long ride out in Olema (Western Marin) on Aerial, Snip and Spider. The girls quickly got the feel for riding and were soon trying to trot the whole time. Driving through the farms of West Marin and then off to a ride in the hills quickly had me thinking of dropping the whole engineering thing and being a horse hand, but maybe not. Of course the girls were instantly asking when the next ride was....oh boy, what have I gotten us into?!?!
