Trail ride on 18 April 2010.  KJ invited me along on his trail ride for his customers designed to build their confidence and condition their horses for trail riding away from their normal environment.  This is the Bulldog Canyon trail near Usery Pass in Mesa.  With KJ (center) is Rudy (left) riding his horse Jack and Paige (right) riding her horse Sitka.

Paige Johnson was building her confidence for trail riding on Sitka.  Sitka had a history of abuse and a well-known trainer had written the mare off as un-trainable.  Friend KJ was able to train Sitka to be a safe and gentle ride.

KJ training Dollar to load into an unfamiliar trailer. Dollar belongs to neighbor Rosie Snell.  This is the trailer that almost cost me my life.  In May, while trying to load one of KJ's thoroughbred stallions at my place, the horse kicked the tailgate/loading ramp just as I was about to latch it.  I ended up flat on my back and the horse severely trampled my lower legs.  This picture is several weeks earlier at the Bulldog Canyon trail head near Usery Pass in Mesa.

After a few minutes KJ coaxed Dollar into the trailer.  After this I was able to load Dollar without too much trouble.

Our iris began blooming in April.  This was the first bloom of the year.  We brought these plants with us from Arkansas when we moved back to Arizona in 2003.  They produce beautiful flowers in the cooler months of spring.  This plant had several flowers on it before the heat set in and the blooms died.

The Bulldog Canyon trail is a popular site for riders.  You occasionally run into people in 4WD, ATV's and bikes but no so much as to be a problem.  25 April 2010

Me on Dollar above Bulldog Canyon.  The Salt River lies just over the ridge.
