On the Holiday Road 2013: Las Vegas

July 12, 2013—Day 7

Today’s plan had been to relax by the pool and see a show in the evening. HOWEVER, since our Santa Fe horseback riding adventure was cancelled, we were doing a make up ride this morning at 6:30 am. What the what??

Cowboy Trail Rides picked us up right on time for our Canyon Rim Ride. There were only four of us on the ride, plus our wrangler, Mikey. Yes, an adult who called himself Mikey. He was a good guy, though. My niece had the awesomely named horse, Diesel. I want to buy a horse just so I can name him Diesel. I was put on a mule named Mulla. Come on! I had Greg the horse at the Kentucky Horse Park in April, and now Mulla? (I loved Mulla, but this was the best name they could come up with?)

I think a mule was a brilliant choice for this ride. Mikey was on a mule, too.
