We’re leaving shortly and heading south to take photos at a Horse Trekker’s Club event. We regularly take photos at endurance rides but the trekkers do shorter distances at a slower pace. It’s really just a social ride. But every rider loves photos of their horses so we’ll spend an hour or two and try to take some nice photos. Today, they’ll really just be setting up their camps. We’ll try to find some good places from which to take photos tomorrow.
We’ll be going back early in the morning to get photos of them on the actual ride. They’ll have lunch at a tavern in Kirup, a very small town, but we’ll be home by then probably. The photos go up on a website and they can buy them if they want to. We’re going to donate all the profits from this ride to the bushfire victims.
I’ll probably catch you again this evening while Vince is processing photos.

That sounds like a good noble plan to donate the profits for bushfire victims. Hope you get good photographs and many buy it.

You have been doing this for a while I see reading your old posts. Donating the profits from selling photos is a noble act. More power to you.

That looks like a lot of fun to do !
Back when I had horses, i used to go on a lot of trail rides, and I really enjoyed doing that. I lived in north Idaho when I was growing up, and there were a lot of mountain areas for us to go trail riding in. I belonged to a group of riders, called the Horseman’s Association, and we would all plan out the trail rides for the summer.
I think that the best trail ride that I ever went on, was into Montana, and at the Bison Range. We went on Friday , camped out, sang songs around the campfire, and ate Buffalo Burgers at the local cafe.
Early Saturday morning , the ride started, and we rode high up into the mountains and could look down at the bison herds in the valleys far beneath us.
At noon , they brought us a picnic lunch, and then we rode back down again. Some people also camped overnight on Saturday after the ride, and then on Sunday, we all loaded up the horses and went back home again.
It was a wonderful experience, and something that I will always remember doing.

Oh wow, you obviously have great memories of that ride. What a wonderful weekend you would have had. Perhaps you could do a discussion about it as I'm sure others would love to read about it too.
