To celebrate the half century milestone of my partner, we are going to Las Vegas for the 50th birthday bash. After many years of saving for this very special event ..... I have it all arranged .
While we are there we will be going in a helicopter ride, at night over the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, on the birthday evening itself,. We will then be having a lovely dinner at the famous Caesar's Palace and going to see my partners idol, Bette Midler in concert at the Colosseum!
COWGIRL FOR A WEEK
I'm also going to be a cowgirl for a few days. I am booked into the Painted Dreams Ranch which is a training facility for western riding in Las Vegas. My trainer has even picked out the mare I will ride. She is called "Dunny" and is 15 years old, I am sure she will look after me. I have been told that she has been there and done it all, so I feel very safe (I will still take my helmet with me and wear it!) Here is a picture of Dunny, she is an overo paint horse, very halter stout in build. very gentle and queit, a good mother and strong producer of great babies. I am looking forward to riding this mare and learning the ropes of Western Equitation and Trail especially.
GRAND CANYON TRAIL
I am also going on a trail over the ridge of the Grand Canyon I do believe that it is quite spectacular to see. My partner wont be coming along as the ride is just too long, especially when you're not used to being in the saddle for 3 hours at a time. Suits me just fine!
So watch this space as i will be posting a blog about our travels when we get back - oh and of course have a great and blessed New Year one and all, happy 2010!
