Roger remembers spending a couple weeks in the summer in Manti, Utah, as a kid. His dad had alot of relatives there and lots of cousins. Two of his cousins were genuine cowboys, Don and Glen Mackey. He idolized them and they let him ride their horses anytime he wanted. These pictures depict his equestrian grace.
OK, so I looked scared. I didn't know how to get up on the saddle. I had to lift my left leg with my left hand because I don't have an ACL on that leg. Our guide asked my permission for him to place his left hand on my left butt....he also asked me if he could help me get on the horse! OK....so I liked it. Yea! I was on the horse. I asked our guide if there were padded saddles, but he said, 'nope'.
Roger enjoyed exploring the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, we dismounted and took a rest. It was so beautiful to be a guest of mother nature. The experience filled our souls.
Here are some pics of Roger.
Our guide pointed to this tree....see the bear claw markings? Scway! (as Kate pronounces it)
The beauty of Daniel's Summit was breathtaking. I loved every minute. We hope to horseback ride again soon. (I have located a place on Redwood road that sells gel seats especially for saddles)

What beautiful pictures Bev! Good job! And congrats on getting on the horse. I haven't been in years but have always thought it was fun.
Gorgeous pictures mom! How fun! Don't you think that the "pushing your butt up on the saddle" photo could have been a little more, say, graceful? It was hilarious!
That looks like so much fun! I am so impressed that you got on a horse even though you had never been on one. I guess I know what we will be doing with Kate the next time we go to Utah!
Absolutely beautiful country! You two are having way too much fun!!
