Memorial Day weekend we drove out to Idaho to visit my parents on their ranch. It was the best weekend to go, since they had a big day planned for Saturday. We got to drive cattle up the canyons into the mountain pastures for summer grazing. It was a perfect day, the scenery was gorgeous, and the horses were careful with us. This picture is of me and our daughter Madie, riding my sister's horse Lazaroni. She is a four year old Quarter Horse, and my sister has done a really nice job of training her. We drove about a hundred head of cows and calves up a dirt road. There were streams alongside the road, and the cows and horses could stop and drink from time to time. The terrain there is really rough and rocky...the sagebrush grows as high as the horses' backs in some places, and it is scratchy and thick to try to ride through. The horses do really well walking and even running through the rocks and sagebrush...they all wear shoes to protect their feet in that kind of country. We only got to stay for a few days, but it was a really nice vacation.
