Club members Suzanne, Karen, Mariann and Jackie pose by Meadowbrook Stable entrance. They and Jacquie rode a circuit from the middle of Rock Creek Park in DC, north to the border with Maryland, and on to the stables, where a horse show was in progress. They then returned to DC and continued south along the rock strewn creek (hense the name Rock Creek!), stopping for lunch, then stopping at the Equestrian Field to let the horses have a nice half hour break grazing, before returning to the trailers. A great time was had by all 5 riders who covered almost every bridle path in the park, the horses logging almost 9 miles. Submitted by Mariann. Photos by Jacquie and Jackie.
