Jack Brooks Horse Camp

 

This camp is located near San Mateo in CA.

Linda Cowles got us to go and I travelled with my horse Sirocco and my husband Chris all the way up to Gardnerville where we stayed one night. Then Leslie and I took off to the horse camp the next morning and Chris went for a motorcycle trip. We got there late in the afternoon and a little bit later Linda Martin also showed up with her horse Zephyr (Hope I spelled that right) Leslie brought her horse Nike. We rode in prehistoric forest and it was sure a dream come true because I have never camped with Sirocco and we had really found a beautiful place. Rode about 4 to 5 hours a day and let the horses eat a lot of grass (Sirocco wants to point out that he is not IR so don’t look so alarmed.) I did not want it to end. Sirocco did all the rides totally bare foot and it was fun to see how his feet changed from concrete desert hooves to something softer.

Raging river
Farming in Texas (where everything is bigger)
Sirocco's frogs got wetter. No more concrete.
We found a small tree to take a picture by
Our secret picnic place never to be found
Racoon in Leslie's cooler. And no it did not occur to me to try to save her food.
They told us our horses would look like "gourds" if they ate at the creeks?????

Back in Gardnerville for one night. Guess how good I felt about taking Sirocco back to hell? ( Las Vegas) :(
