After the hike we checked in to our equestrian outfitters, only to be informed that our 12:00 half day hike had been downsized to a two hour ride, due to the bad conditions (rather windy!). We were to meet back at the corrals at 2:00. With two hours to kill, we took a stroll around Swiftcurrent Lake.
After the two hours had passed, we journeyed back to the corrals and began our ride. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy it as much as I could have, as the Lord was obviously trying to teach me a lesson regarding patience (never ask to be taught that; it isn't much fun!). You see, the rider in front of me was a boisterous young lad, who thought he knew all about horseback riding (yet somehow his horse continued to careen in all sorts of directions) and had no small amount of trouble keeping his mouth shut... Afterwards dinner was great, but right after we ordered our food, guess who walked in and was seated next to us? Yes... the lad. Hm. Patience, patience right? Thankfully, God gave me the grace to hold my tongue, until the pizza I ordered arrived, which was one of the finest my taste buds have had the pleasure of savoring!
After dinner, we went back to our room and watched our Bible study video (very good series on David by the way!) and freshened up a bit (nothing quite like the smell of horse... quite odorous!). We then topped off the evening by going to see a magnificent bard by the name of David Walburn, who was a local guitar playing song writer.
It was then off to bed for the night for the early rise in the morning.
