Another state park where the equestrian area is outside the state park. Instead, you drive past Wabounsie Road, and the equestrian entrance is two driveways down on the left.
The campground was pretty empty, so we were able to put each horse in their own 20' x 10' pen. They had plenty of room to move around and some shade as well.
There are high lines sprinkled through out the campground. These are nice to allow the horses to graze on the grass a bit, but we prefer to keep the horses in the pens most of the time.
This is a primitive campground - meaning no hook-ups. There are water pumps here and there so we can access water for our trailer and for the horses.
Our Winegard connection was sufficient to stream movies.
Ari had no cell reception on Verizon, but my Google phone had full bars.
We are riding sections of the same trails used by Lewis & Clark on their expedition. It is heavily, wooded and quite shady. The trails are very pretty, but there is only about two hours of riding here.
Omaha, Nebraska is an hour north of this campground, so we opted to spend an afternoon exploring the Old Market area. This store was great.
I bought two t-shirts (not any of the ones in the pictures). They had an amazing selection of shirts, coffee mugs, etc. with various cute verbage.
The equestrian camper next to us has this fabulous blender that uses a lawnmower pull to operate. Apparently, it sounds just like a chainsaw. She is camping in a weekender, so she doesn't have all the bells and whistles we have in our LQ.
This is Jack. He is 3 years old and he got a pony ride. His family was camping near us and he had never been on a horse. We regularly give pony rides to kids wherever we are, if we can. He was scared to ride on his own, so we had his mom ride with him, so he would feel safe.
He did just fine.
Jack is a survivor. He has been battling some medical issues and has had several surgeries, but he seems like he is on the other side of all that and has his whole life ahead.
