Creatures of the week -
Happy, young, Rocky Mountain Horses out on trail rides.
Frankie is just starting to learn to carry a rider on his back.
Little bobcats lead the way on the trail - fearless, spotted and actually quite curious.
A screech owl stared down at me from her high perch in a tree.
Cottontails and a Redtailed Hawk in the valley below the high plateau Claire and I galloped up to see. A Summerland mountain-top that overlooks Rincon to Santa Barbara. A rainy day and beauty viewed from this sweaty mares' back.
After the ride, a mated coyote couple came down to sniff Frankie and I as we sat absorbing the rain on the soil of his corral.

It's been an amazing week full of wildlife. All these animals, I actually spotted while running or riding on the Montecito trails this week.
