Brian and I decided (very last minute) to go camping and riding in the mountains this weekend! Its been quite awhile since weve been able to do this together.....due to a young horse we were training that was unable to do a trip like that, and then of course having brody! This is something that we really enjoy doing together. Just us, the horses, and nature!
We went to Uwharrie national forest and camped at a great place called 4B Farm. We were able to have stalls for the horses to stay in and we camped in our trailer! We got this trailer about 4 years ago with the hopes of being able to camp alot more often...but then Nala and brody came along. The front part of the trailer has a tack room/ living quarters in it that we fixed up and made it accessible for electricity and put a bed above the gooseneck part of the trailer. So for 4 years its been sitting there waiting for us to use! i was so excited to be able to camp in it this weekend. i know...camping with electricity is not CAMPING to alot of people...lol. We did cook our meals over the fire though!
4B Farm is owned by the sweetest Christian couple. They actually have a church that meets on sunday morning in a little chapel they built inside of the barn, which we had the opportunity to attend! Now thats what i call CHURCH!! hearing the horses snort and neigh while you are worshipping the Lord....a little piece of what i would consider heaven!
We rode 6 hours the first day we were there and 3 1/2 the second day! Wow were we sore!! I was so proud of Nala though.....she acted like an old pro. She has never been on a trip in the trailer this far away from home and has never been ridden for that long or on that type of terrain! We got Nala when she was a baby and Brian trained her totally by himself.....so needless to say we were VERY PROUD of her!!
It was so great to spend 2 days with my horses (my first babies). i dont get to spend as much time with them as i used to (before brody) , but i am so thankful they are on the same property as me now and i can go out my back door and visit them anytime! BUT 2 days of good QT with them and my hubby was AMAZING!
