ILLINOIS STATE FAIR FUN!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR MEMBERS!!!
Kankakee River State Park Trail Ride
WE FINALLY DID IT!!!
Cheryl Crowdson and Janice McFadden rode 7.5 miles of their 11 miles of trails. It was a very eventful ride which won't be stated here. There were two incidents . . . Ask Cheryl or Janice the next time you see them. Here's what I will tell you. First we couldn't find the equestrian parking. If you go there know that it says Hunter Parking Area 4 - nothing about equestrian parking. The trails in the woods were great, but to get there wasn't! We had to cross a BUSY road. Finally someone in a black car with flashing lights stopped and then a car from the other direction also stopped so that we could cross. Once across the road the trails were NOT mowed and the bugs were annoying Janice's horse, Bella. Cheryl's horse, Boo was fine. Not sure if it was the spray Cheryl used or the fact that they could see Bella better since she has white on her? Of course being by a river didn't help! The trails are flat, no hills and only one muddy spot.
Unfortunately, Sharon Fitzpatrick couldn't make it. :-( Stay tuned for the next adventure!
