Herding from horseback

Today we had to be at the barn at 7:15 am. To tack up two horses for us to move to camp Haqua, Mr. T and Andy. When we got there I rode Andy through the river and Steph took Mr. T. We rounded up the herd from horseback.  It was amazing cantering behind the herd and keeping them in line as we ran them in.  We had a group of kids who weren’t the best riders, but by far weren’t the worst riders I have seen. Of course a few of them panicked, but overall it turned out all right.  I rode Katie again on the ride and she was a fantastic little mare. 
When we got home I had a relaxing night of eating and reading.  I went out after dark into the most glorious night of bright stars and a full moon.  I love it here.
