Riding for the Brand

About 5 plus years ago I told Scott that I was retiring from riding with him anymore. I told him if I wanted to help I would either walk or drive a 4-wheeler, but that I felt my chances of getting hurt on a horse were getting greater and that I didn't want the risk. This weekend he begged, pleaded, and sobbed that he needed me! Well, how can you turn your precious companion of almost 35 years down when he needs you that bad. (yeah right) Well, anyway he promised me his sweet Nellie, an easy ride, beautiful scenery and a little adventure. And he didn't fail me on any of these, except maybe the easy part, when we came to a trail that went straight down steep canyon. I really have to say that other than that it was a wonderful, adventurous, beautiful, enjoyable day. I am always seeking some adventure somewhere. I am not really ready to be as old as I sometimes act and seem. Sooooooo.....yes, I may do it again!
