Day 5 Another 1st for Dunker!

Nobody but nobody gets to lead the gang on their 1st week ... NOT EVER!!!

So...rules are made to be broken; Dunker led coming down from Castle Rock ... seriously led; the wrangler was at the back. Castle Rock is high above the ranch. It takes over and hour of steady climbing to reach the top so by the time the horses start down, they want to move out and get back to the corral. Toby, our wrangler, shortened Dunkers reins and he was in control coming down the mountain. If his horse started running; we all would be running ... that's just what horses do.

Today is Charlotte and Michaels 25th anniversary. It's also the evening of the Almost 60, 70 & 80. Michael, Philip and MC have birthdays this year.
