I would like to a big thank you to Ron Karr, Bob Butler and Ken Steckle for changing my trucks tire yesterday morn. Since I am driving on my own it one the fears I have is, what if. You guys stepped in (and I know others at camp would have too) and made it seem like no big deal, it is to me. I hope no one caught heck for coming back all muddy, really should be an easier way of getting that tire out from under the truck, ha ha.
So thank you again for the assistance. Joan Mulholland ...

This weekend, although the forecast called for rain, rain and more rain, was awesome! The Chesley Saddle Club members gathered on Friday to do trail maintenance in preparation for the 7 day Wiarton ride.

We headed out on the trail after dinner on Friday, through a cow pasture, first for me on my spouse's horse. Thank you Joan Mulholland for riding between myself and the cows! Don Ruttan and a couple others rode between the riders and cows to ensure the cows were kept at a safe distance. The trail was lovely, it wound through open pasture, hardwood and dense cedar. I love riding the single tracks through cedar groves. The sights, sounds and smells were absolutely perfect! The trail meandered around impressive crevices, looped around Bob's pond and butterflied through true South Bruce Peninsula landscape. The ride offered me an opportunity to get to know new friends, and catch up with old friends.
Folks gathered at various trailers to share stories and beverages. Coyotes sarenaded us after the last of the suns rays reflected off the steal roof of the barn. And the rain held off!

Saturday morning I was woken up by the sweet melody of the Bobolinks and trill of the red winged black birds, as they prepared for their day.
We headed to the river to offer horses the opportunity to drink before the days ride. The river was running fast and clear over a rock riverbed.

Through forests and fields we traveled, sniping new growth from low branches and moving fallen trees from the trail. We split into two groups to cover more ground. Bob Butler guided us along the Hope Bay trail, again through pasture and forest.

A big shout out to Emily and her horse. Her horse remained calm when his hind right got caught in a shallow crevice causing him to fall. He processed the situation, released to pressure and got his foot out of the crevice on on his own without injury! What a awesome horse! In light of this event a small group returned to camp with Emily.

The CSC has developed relationships with local land owners for more than 20+ years, keeping this week-long ride tradition alive and strong. As we approached the trail head at the municipal park entrance we were faced with a "no horses sign" which was very disappointing for the club. Our group turned back, respecting the new sign. Bob's pack horse, Mack, developed laboured breathing during the ride so we stopped to allow Mack to catch his breath while we ate our lunches. The weather was on our side, light rain for a few minutes here and there, which was good because Joel (aka Bam Bam) forgot his rain gear.

Back at camp we tended to our horses, checked with Bob & Emily to ensure their horses were recovering, walked Penny, and then prepared dinner.

There were severe weather watches for the surrounding area, but once again we were blessed. The rain started about 2 am and stuck around until 4 am.

After morning chores and breakfast, the rain came in waves. Poor Clair saddled up just before the rain rolled in. I decided to start my 3 hour trek home without riding. The traffic was light and the sun was shining when I got home. Remy was happy to be home with his mates, rain or shine!

I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend, I thank all of you for making me feel welcome! ...
