On Tuesday of this week Ali and I went to the Big River Ranch near Lexington,MO for a 2 day trial run. We tested our tack up time and various other processes to see what we could change or improve on. There are a couple of minor changes I made to the tack room to improve access.
I rode Ali 11 plus miles for 4:5 hours on Wednesday. I packed lunch for both of us and we ate on the edge of a pond. Ali was more interested in the lush grass then in the grain I brought for him. He did finally eat it along with half my apple. On Thursday morning we again went through our morning feeding routine (for both of us). We again made a timely departure from camp and rode off down the Missouri River levee.
Big River Ranch is a great place to ride. It follows the Mighty Mo for six miles and the trail are also up along the bluffs and ridges. There are good views all along the way and of course the river is just awesome.
