2012-08-18 Miami Whitewater Forest w/Anne and "Chief"

We had a really fun weekend! We went to another one of the Hamilton County (OH) Park Districts park, Miami Whitewater Forest. They have an 8 mile multi-use trail that parrallels their horse trail (plus several other shorter trails) and we met Carie's good friend, Anne who brought her awesome horse, Chief. We rode our Segways and Anne rode Chief and we all had a blast! Chief is a great horse and very calm and patient. We've ridden this trail with Anne & Chief before but this is the first time we've camped there. Chief treats the Segways as part of his "herd" and follows them and if we're on the multi-use trail Chief wants to join us so Anne has to keep sterring him back to the horse trail. It's cute! A few time Carie took the lead on the horse trail with Chief & Anne right on her heels. Anne brough him back to the campground and tied him to a tree in our site and he quickly became the hit of the campground! Anne gave several little kids rides on Chief right there through the campsites. It was pretty cool! Funny thing is the three kids on Chiefs back in the last two photos at one point all slid off in unison and two were crying on the ground but after their initial shock all wanted back up and continued their ride! There's just something about kids and horses, especially little girls.

Enjoy the pics!

Here's our camping setup:

Here how Chief got his name. Notice the Indian chief on his side?!?! His chin, lips, nose and eyebrow are facing Chief's rump and he has two feathers sticking out towards his back and mane!
