Southern Ohio--Cousin Lani and Karl's farm near Marrietta

On our way back to VA from Hudson, OH, we stopped at Cerid's cousin Lani's farm for a great visit. We had a blast and I rode (and trotted) on a horse for a few hours. My horse's name was Cardiac Arrest (Cardio for short) and we truly bonded, although poor Cardio's back was sore the next day. I loved the riding although my body hated me for days afterward. In fact, over a week later, my hip is still hurting. Nevertheless, I would love to have the land for a few horses one day. Here are some pics:

Not sure which horse this is, but it's quite a specimen:
