The official ride photos from Valley of the Sun. We got these as completion awards. I’m not sure who the photographer was, but she did a lovely job…if anyone knows, please let me know!

Me and Mimi. This is about 3/4 of the way through the first loop. *dutifully ignores the crusty-looking crud on the white pony*


Dad and Beamer, Me and Mimi. 2 miles into the ride.

Dad and Beamer. 3/4 of the way through the first loop. How come *his* white horse is so much cleaner than mine?

And finally, a short video from the ride. A warning…it was taken from the back of the eggbeater-trot pony, so it’s a little shaky in parts. Those prone to motion-scikness may need to avert their eyes. This was taken about halfway through the first loop, on part of the trail that was a straight out-and-back section, which meant we got to ride through this gorgeous part of the trail twice.
