PP Winter Comp. Week 3 ~ Creature
One of the joys of horse back riding is sometimes we get to see wildlife up close. This buck just laid there watching us, the horses didn't even see him as you can tell by the direction that Colt is looking. We worried that if the buck jumped up and ran, it would scare the horses. We were ready for the action but luckily when the buck did move, the horses only jumped slightly and watched him run off.
