No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle. -Winston Churchill
Of course, we totally agree with Mr. Churchill at Black Mountain Colorado Dude Ranch! So with the upcoming weekend's festivities, we wanted to share a few places around the country that are doing the Easter egg hunt right, on horseback!

2012 Horseback Easter Egg Hunt in Tampa Bay Area
The Saddle Up Riding Club, which is based in Pinellas Park, is sponsoring an Easter egg hunt on horseback. You literally get ponied up on horseback and look for eggs that are hidden in buckets on the club's property at 6080 94th Ave. Children from 1 to 16 can take part, but we imagine the adults are keeping a close eye on the toddler equestrians. No reservations needed. Just go there and ride. Oh, and bring your own Easter basket. The hunt is on Saturday, April 7, from 3 to 6 p.m.
