Run Wrangler Scott - Its the Women's Explorer Pack Trip!!!


We ended the season with a fantastic all women’s retreat which is destined to become an annual event. We had a great group…this was one of those special trips where everyone bonded. Our June Contest winner Cristi from Arizona was along and she brought her mother for a trip they’ve dreamed of taking for years.
Shawn Hamilton of CLiX Photography in Ontario (www.clixphoto.com) was a special guest: she brought along all her camera gear and we can’t wait to see the incredible pictures she took.


Chuck and Scott greet the ladies with a champagne breakfast and leis.





The weather was incredible and the girls got in some terrific riding. We took our chef Rachels oven mitts away and had her out on the trail too - of course this meant that Wrangler Scott was left to make dinner!








Here are a few more pictures from the trek up to Lost Guide Lake...













As always the view from the Top of the Mountain was fantastic - check it out:

We had the girls set up in teams of 3 for games that we played the whole trip too. The scavenger hunt was hilarious with some really interesting items being brought in...Unfortunately I got ‘wrangled’ in to be a judge for one contest – how to you pick winners from 10 ladies?



The final evening ended with an ‘initiation’ for poor Wrangler Scott…so beware ladies – the game is STILL ON………
And speaking of games...who do you think this masked girl is? A credit to MY HORSE Belle and one of our great sale horses - Snip - for putting up with her...






Oh ya...what would a Ladies Retreat be without one of the girls taking a picture of a flower? Sheesh...so here ya go:
