Horseback tours.

[nutforslots]

You can take a scenic ride through the Nevada countryside. You can choose the time of day.

There are breakfast tours that includes a campfire breakfast. This sounds kind of interesting. You get to eat like the cowboys used too.

There is another done around dinner time. Its called the sunset tour. After your ride you get to learn how to heard cattle and get an old fashioned ranch style dinner.

If you love horseback riding then this is just the thing for you. There are so many options and too many to to mention here. Check out the internet and you can find these tours for yourself.

Just look for Vegas Horseback Tours. Have fun and enjoy the ride!

Yee Hawww!! Rope them doggies!!

I've always loved going to the rodeo when I lived in northern CA. The good thing about it, was that it was in the same town I lived in, so I could walk to it if I wanted.

I had a girlfriend there once, and her older sister won a trophy nearly every year in the barrel racing. She would ride her horse around 4 barrels at different angles. I'm not sure what the patterns were, but the rider had to steer their horse around the barrels in a certain amount of time. The rider with the shortest time would win the barrel race.

I've ridden a horse a few times in my life, and learned how on a Quarter-horse with an attitute. First thing he does is rare up to try to get me off his back, and when that didn't work he ran underneath the apple tree branches to try to scrape me off his back. After that little trial, he accepted me as a rider.

Whew, what a ride!

I had ridden him a few times after that, and another incident comes to mind;
I was at a friends house out in a valley and rode the horse out to the end of his driveway, about a little over a quarter mile, and raced this quarter horse back. Well, when I got back the horse didn't want to stop at the fence, I guess he was a jumper too or like to jump fences, it nearly took me off his back this time by stopping fast in a mear couple of feet.

Yes, I do miss riding a horse. I may have to go trail riding again one day.

I got to go horseback riding one time when I was very little. I must have been five because I had just gotten my kindergarten booster shot the day before we went riding. Let me tell ya, it was painful! Lol. My poor booty was sooooo sore!!!! I still remember how much I liked the riding and liked the horse though. It just hurt at the same time lol.
