Largest ride ever! Tulsa

Seems like every guide was on the ride.  Sheila, Amanda, Val, Jess.  There were about 24 riders.  Bobby said he had 124 riders on Saturday.  I happened to be wtih about 23 of them.  We were late even.  I didnt want to ride in the afternoon.  But we need to ride and that was the only time that Colleen could go.  When I saw all the cars  knew we were in trouble.  There were 5 people waiting on stand by. A dad was talking to Bobby as we tried to sign in and he was trying to get an additional ride for his daughter.
Crazy ride.  There was a lady on Boger that was freaking her kids out (Im pretty sure).  The girl her daughter that was about 16 years old was saying that Andy was making her nervous.  The mother was telling me that she was on a ride in Las Vegas and all the riders were thrown by the horses.  She was a problem on the ride.  Her daughter became so nervous and Jess ended up tethering the girl to help her to be calmer.  The woman had 2 square camera bags on her back and a huge camera on her front.  Her boys were very good on the ride but she had traumatized the girl.  We actually had a trot ride.  I felt it was too dangerous but we did it.  Sheila came around and helped me get Tulsa out of the line at the first little desert and I was able to ride with Colleen on Foxie at the end.  The bonus was Domino was in front of me. This was great. The young man on Domino was a ton of fun.  He loved his horse.  Domino was stealing leaves all over the place.  It was almost funny.
Tulsa wasnt her self at the water barrel. She kept turning around.  She was tense for some reason.  Later on the ride Sheila told me a story about a guy that was kicking and pulling on Tulsa and she hasnt been the same since.   She was a great ride. Actually when we came out of the woods to go back tot he barn, Domino, Tulsa and Foxie all went into a quick trot together.  It was tons of fun.  Colleen the man in front of us and I were delighted to get the extra fun on the end.   We trotted a couple of times.  The first test trot, it was not so smooth.  The before the bridge trot it was short and choppy.  Then the trot that we had before you go around the corner was ok.  So the last one was a bonus.
Tulsa is so great to ride.  She is a sweetie.  Love her!



Tango is like the official Bobby's Ranch Greet and hang out with the riders horse.  Hes the sweetest
