Colorado was incredible...I could live there if I didnt have to drive a rig up and down those twisty slippery mountain roads...Grand Lake was gorgeous but expensive! Figure ya gotta get that feed up those mountains and it is gonna be costly! Anyhow I loved being there, was like a mini vacation, and I shot close to 300 photos. People love to take their horses into the mountains and go trail riding. I would be like that too if I lived there.Getting ready for our first Paint show in MONTHS...hopefully I can do western riding...need to go memorize those patterns some more...just when I am getting a clue, they add two more!! FRACK!

OMG! Do you watch BSG? WTF? What the Frack! LOL.
The PNW is a lot like Colorado. I have snowy mountain views year round from my home. I do a lot of my training on a loop trail through old growth forest (yes we still have old growth forest, it was not all logged away)and love every minute of it. However, until you have been here through 10 months of rain and trudged through the mud to the flooded barn on a daily basis, just enjoy all that green in the summer months ^^ People from Texas, and I am sure from Florida too, don't understand why our horses have trouble going in straight lines until they have been here in the winter and see that we all have to have covered arenas to ride in for most of the year. Those are expensive, so not all are that big. Sometimes four strides of a straight line is all you get!
Well, I don't know about you and yours, but my mare went to a horseshow (i was busy elsewhere with family stuff) and it was tiny! We are trying to get her Superior in HUS but her class didn't fill...not even if they combined with Sr. This at a show with the biggest 2yo futurities in the PNW, so the trainers had to be there anyway. Ack! Is our sport going to go straight to the rich and famous only? With no one being able to afford to go, the medium to smaller shows are going to fail, leaving only the big time shows available. Those are expensive and too big, with split classes and people all the way from the mid-west coming. I'm sure this is true for all the breeds and show divisions...but what are we going to do?
