Here is Madeline's first camping trip this last week end March 14th and 15th at the Doll Baby Ranch in Payson Arizona. She was so good it was unbelieveable, as if she'd done it before. We usually have someone in our group back in camp so she had plenty of attention while we all trail rode. And never made a peep as we all rode off.......just rolled and played in her portable stall.
Camping out in her portable travel corral while we get the boys ready for their Saturday ride.
Around 1:00pm Saturday we got dumped out with rain, sleet and hail.......and boy did we all get wet!, Not Madeline though....
And once the boys got unsaddled from the ride they got dumped on, they too dressed up just like Madeline.... she felt quite at home with her big brothers.
And, on Sunday after the ride and packing up she's all ready to go back home........ all loaded up with her big brothers and ready to rock and roll.
She did so well on this camp out as her first, that she'll be hittin the road this week end for Kirkland Junction Arizona for a week long catered trail ride....she will be spoiled by many who will be on the ride....usually around 125 people.

A FELLOW AzBCR MEMBER ASKED ABOUT HER OWN SPOT IN THE TRAILER AND LINDA ANSWERED:
Yes, we built her a stud wall in the back bay which was a large bay between her and big brother Earl. David designed it and is portable and work and slides and latches in just perfect, we even rubber matted the stud wall both sides.....and she had her own little portable wall hanging hay bag to munch in as she traveled.
As you can see, she even had her own little 4 panel portable corral of her own tied into one panel of each of her brothers portable corral panels when she camped. We used to set up the big boys portable corrals in a figure eight with the two sharing to panels in the center, now we do a clover leaf.

AND LINDA'S FURTHER COMMENT TO ME:
Susan,
Everyone in the club loved her to death......
Our Mule driving training friends came down from Snow Flake for pot luck and Bernard and his wife Diane just loved her. And Bernard's son B.J. and his wife fell in love with her.......and might be a wanting one for themselves!!
You would have been so proud of her and how well she adapted to camping, like it was nothing !!
Linda
