Labor Day weekend found the NM contingent of the Great Western Paso Fino Horse Association trekking to Utah to join members of other states for a fantastic weekend!  To say a great time was had by all would the understatement of the century!  Beautiful scenery, great weather,  wonderful people and last but certainly not least, fantastic horses!  Organized by our president Judi and our webmaster Carol from Utah it couldn’t have been better!  Moab caters to outdoor fun of every category!  It seems to be the 4 wheeling capitol as evidenced by all manner of vehicles, bikes, motorcycles, and 4 wheelers.    Along with all of that there is a very nice horse facility complete with an indoor arena, outdoor arena, racetrack and first class stalls!  The facilities were as nice as the NM State Fair Grounds here in Albuquerque.  We utilized the indoor arena for some Horse Soccer!  What a blast

Nine of us from the New Mexico contingent traveled the 8 hours to Moab.   Some of the more hilarious moments happened at the Grotto of the Seven Mile Canyon ride!  At the end of the 7 miles there is a pond of water that some of the participants did not hesitate to shed their clothing and jump in!  Thereby christened Cowgirl Grotto as most of the participants were indeed cowgirls.  One brave male participant shall remain unnamed and can share his own photos if he so chooses!

The entire weekend was a success as everyone had a great time and left with great memories and new friends!  Thanks to Judi and Carole and all the other organizers, we really appreciate all your hard work!  Looking forward to the next adventure in Colorado next year!
