PB on a Long Desert Ride with Mr. Big

I feel so blessed to be able to live in the beautiful sierra mountains. The big mountain in the background is called Mt. Tom. It is over 14 thousand feet. This is the backyard of Millpond Equestrian Center, the ranch where I work.

I was trying to show some of the spring wild flowers. We have had a really wet spring and the desert is popping with lots of colors.

This is my dear friend Jan and her mule Mr. Big. Jan is an amazing mule and horse woman. She is so modest about her knowledge and I'm always trying to pick her brain about horses. She works and manages Rock Creek Lodge in the Eastern Sierra, so if you are ever looking for a great meal and a great experience I highly recommend this 5 star restaurant. All the food is homemade, healthy and unbelievably great! The only way in is by snowshoe, cross-country ski or snowmobile.

Did I mention I love this horse? If I could buy him I would. I am hoping someone that I know will buy him. He will make someone a fantastic horse. He is very friendly and loves people, kids, and dogs and is really smooth to ride. He loves to go on long trail rides, doesn't care if he's in front or back of the group. As long as I'm on his back he's happy and confident.
