Riding in Tahoe National Forest

Here I am on my birthday this weekend with Ace, the new love of my life! My family and I went trail riding at Alpine Meadow Stables in the Tahoe National Forest. The ride up the mountainside was primeval, beautiful and mysterious - a real treat for my soul. The ride down was nothing less than terrifying! I did survive to paint another day though!

    1. He was very laid back but responsive and fun to ride. I think his color is chocolate cherry as he really was a deep deep maroon color - very interesting!
