One of our Eat Pray Love retreaters stayed an extra day, and we did a trail ride in the Bridger Mountains with the amazing Janice of Montana Horse Sense. It was one of those days when the weather, the company and the surroundings all came together to create a lasting memory. Christine rode Rocky (the Appaloosa), and I am on Flash. I seem to be getting farther and farther away from my city girl days…

We had a breathtaking view of the snowcapped Crazy Mountains (look carefully in the middle picture), usually called “the Crazies”. Legend has it that the name is a shorter form of the “Crazy Woman Mountains”, after some poor soul who went insane and lived in the mountains after her family was killed during the western settlement days.
