\u201cAlan, we can join some horseman on a patch of original buffalo grass prairie.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cHow do you mean join?<\/div>\n
\u201cWe can rent horses.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cNot sure\u2026don\u2019t trust horses\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWHY?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cSmarter than me\u2026wilL try to knock me off using overhanging branches\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cSilly\u2026just guide the horse \u201c<\/div>\n
\u201cthe big reason is the discomfort\u2026bouncing up and down\u2026trying to split<\/div>\n
me in half.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cHere take this horse\u2026old and quiet they say.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cHow do I get on?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cstep stool over here.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
What I should have asked was how to get off the horse.  The whole adventure was<\/div>\n
a pain in the butt and pain elsewhere that I would rather not mention.  When we returned<\/div>\n
to the corral a few hours later I couldn\u2019t get off the horse\u2026my legs were locked.  I had<\/div>\n
to be helped while everyone laughed.  Humiliating.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
BUT the place was stunning.  And I had the presence of mind to take my camera.<\/div>\n
