Latta Plantation!!

Today I went to Latta Plantation. Latta Plantation offers many things to do, they have a Nature Center, Segway Tours, Horseback and Hiking Trails, Fishing, and lots more. Today I went to their Equestrian Center and took a Horseback Trail ride. When we got there we had to get a ticket so they knew we were supposed to be there, then they showed us to our horses. I had a horse named Dillian he was super easy to ride and really calm. My sister had a horse named Molly she was a really slow walker, so we had to stop a couple of times to let her catch up. While we were on the trail the scenery was really pretty but not a big variety of color mostly green. Since the horse was really tall when we went under low branches I would always get spider webs in my face. Because of how the horse walks the saddle really hurt. Other than that the ride was really fun, the weather was nice too so it was a smart idea to go in the morning... there weren't many people either so that was nice.

Here are some pics. (there aren't many cause my mom could not follow behind us and take pictures)

Getting our helmets.
