Horseback Riding in Santa Barbara

My horse was called Gradey

Don't we look like professionals?

In past years when I've visited, we have taken whale watching and city tours, visited the zoo and other points of interest, and even went wine tasting. This year we decided to take a horseback ride in the mountains of Santa Barbara. The trail was beautiful and the weather was perfect for our trip. Our horses were sweet, and we got a kick out of Wiwi's horse named Phat Bob. For those of you who don't know, our family has a lot of pets named Bob. The ride was a lot of fun and the cowboy who took us kept calling Wiwi, "Smiley". Although we were sore for the next couple of days, we had a great time.
