Yesterday we drove our pony pair team pulling our buck board style wagon 9 miles to the Indian Fort Yellowstone River fishing access campsite. We built a fire with family and friends, ate dinner, and camped overnight. This morning after breakfast we loaded up and drove the pony wagon back home. What a beautiful experience and a wonderful family activity with the ponies as a centerpiece of the fun!
