Poker Ride at McCulley Farms


We had a nice long weekend at McCulley Farms. Some of us drove there on Friday and got an early start on the weekend. It was really hot, but we had a great time. Lisa, Carol and Kim arrived a little later than planned on Friday, so they spent time setting up camp and getting their horses settled. Mike and Traci brought Onyx for his first camp out and the debut of his trail riding career. He is the Fresian who thinks he is a quarter horse, so as long as nobody tells him any different, life will be good!

Saturday we struck out on a three hour ride in the woods and along the Withlachoochie River. Again it was hot, but the scenery and fellow riders made it a great day. Lisa's horse Storm, who recently returned from 90 days of boot camp behaved very well, and so did Busta, who had 30 days of concentration camp under his belt. Nobody in our group had a good enough poker hand to win any money, but Mike did find a mystery card worth $10, which he spent on raffle tickets! It was all to support a good cause, so money well spent.

Saturday night we had a big dinner and got cooled off by a quick thunderstorm. After the rain passed we enjoyed a campfire and then turned in for the night. Sunday was a beautiful day... only about 50 degrees when we awoke. The early birds headed out at 8AM to get in a ride before we went home, and others struck out a little later. Everyone had a good time and we look forward to supporting the ride next year. Click here to see pictures of our weekend!
