Got lost on a distance ride in Taos, NM (NATRC)-- it was
also the same trail which served for poker rides, bbq rides and such
--ribbons were all intermingled on trail (a nightmare, really). Trotting
along smartly, my arab gelding and I stumbled over a bear slumbering
in the middle of the rockiest trail ever. The bear
hightailed it into the woods--and we continued down that path in hopes of
finding another ribbon rather than figuring out no one had been down that
trail for at least a bear's nap.
