Casey has always wanted to ride a horse, so on her eighth birthday we went to the OK Corral in Apache Junction, AZ for her first horseback ride. The weather was beautiful and the in 60's.
We traveled through the Superstition Mountains famous for a hidden gold mine. We saw saguaro cactus, cholla "teddy bear" cactus, hohoba bushes, palo verde trees, octotillo and prickly pear cactus. Casey even saw a jack rabbit scurring through the brush.
She rode a horse named Buster and Nammie rode one named Hammer. His name sounded scary, but he was a very gentle horse. We spent an hour on the trail and Casey loved her birthday adventure.
