LOL, looks like Nevada to me! :)

Glad you're back, and glad you and Max are well!

Thanks!

And yes, the picture is from Nevada...got it from a friend of mine who lives in Reno. :-)

We've had some nasty accidents of late down here- one that resulted in the horse having to be euthanized after a five-hour ordeal of cutting her out of a drain grate. Her legs became trapped in drain grate after shying away from a passing car that was travelling too close.

I've noticed that a lot of drivers just don't pay attention and I've almost been on the receiving end of this myself.

i LOVE that sign!

yeah, horses don't get much respect here on the roads. accidents will always happen, but in the UK road rules are much stricter and drivers seem to be more horse savvy. they also have a lot of of high vis gear for horse and rider. i still have some of it and i feel a little stupid wearing it around here, but better safe than sorry! especially riding my dingbats ;-)

be safe out there :-)
