Thank you! Tora is the first one, she's a buckskin quarter horse. She's a gorgeous horse!

That's Iowa for you :) I really need to take my camera out when I go ride because it really is beautiful with all the prairie grass. It's basically prairie as far as you can see where I ride because it's a "hunting preserve" of sorts. I think it's actually CRP, which is land the government essentially "rents" from you if you agree to leave it natural to conserve the soil and wildlife. Maybe you already know this, but even city kids in Iowa don't know what CRP is.

You know what's funny... DC is my favorite place in the US to visit! I've been to DC over a dozen times, it's a long way from Iowa, but I love it! I couldn't live there though, way too busy/nosy for me. I hate living 20 miles from a city with a Walmart/chain store, but I'll deal with it ;)

Definitely cool to visit. Here's a rolling tour of my old commute to work... :)http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14869

That was when I worked in north west DC. I work in Arlington now which is just outside DC.
It's funny cause after you live here a while, you eventually don't even notice all the monuments and stuff...

I bet! It's crazy to think you could get so used to seeing that stuff you don't notice it anymore!

My horse is a 17 year old bay gelding. My sister's boyfriend grew up on a horse ranch, and has been raising and breaking them for riding since he was young.
Thank you! I wish I could go ride in a cattle drive or a branding! That would be so cool! There are "cattle drive vacations" a couple states from me but they are $1,000 a person!!! So I've given up on that idea, lol.
