We arrived in B.C. mid April; and the cold, wet, windy weather followed.
Mike's brother and family, Rob, Karen and Emalynn live on a ranch; just outside of Mission, B.C. After a little maneuvering to get our rig settled in; we took a tour of their place. They have 10 acres and 6 horses. And their property is beautiful. You can see a mountain top from just about anywhere on their property.
The first day was a beautiful, sunny, warm day; and Mike and the others were raring to get a ride on the horses. I had never been on a horse; so wasn't quite as anxious. Emalynn got me settled on Sky Dancer; and walked me around the ring for a while. I never really did get comfortable; and wasn't in any big hurry to ride again. Mike hadn't been on a horse for a really long time; and he was in his glory.
Molly, on the other hand; never really did adjust to living with 6 horses. She finally did get brave enough to sniff one, without barking; but most of the time she just barked and tried to avoid them. One of the horses, Dylan, ended up going after her twice - picked her up by the scruff of her neck and dropped her. I know she wasn't liking this - at all! Needless to say; she did her barking from a safe place after that.
It was nice being on the ranch with Mike's family; and getting to see the daily workings of a ranch. We both decided it was way too much work. We ended up staying here for 3 weeks; and then we headed to the island.
Take a look at the pictures.
