A quick Grey Moun memory

 Grey was very "we've BTDT and Teresa has the T-shirt." He quickly got used to meeting Mtn bikers on trail and I had to insist we give them a little extra JIC room. But one time we saw a biker take a header coming downhill and then the bike slid towards us, not scary close nor fast but it made a life long impression on Grey and always after that any unmounted bike got the eagle eye as we went by in case it was one of those outlaw bikes, cuz if they'd throw their rider who knows what else they might do.  

Such a special and fun horse.  Luckily he had gotten comfy with meeting bikers before that incident and he never worried about meeting riders.  In his mind the bike only became rude after it was separated from the rider.  Which was true but if Grey had become worried that every mounted bike we met might toss its rider and come sliding towards us sharing the many pretty open space parks around the area with the bikers who adore this states foothills and mountains would have become a trial instead of a fun outing.  

I looked and found a picture this weekend to share our big Grand Canyon trip but did not get it scanned so that will have to wait.  The sun has made a bit of headway on our clouds so right now I'll take a short ride on Tanza ahead of the rain or rain/snow mix coming in tonight.
