Do you ever look for new things to try? Or do you want to try to imitate Wonder Woman or try out for the next Olympics?

I enjoy looking for new ways to stretch myself. During a hosted visit in Hamilton County, I was able to try my hand at archery at Strawtown Koteewi Park. I was given a quick lesson by one of the instructors at Koteewi Archery Range and then given reign to try to see how well I could do on my own. The lesson must have been a good one, as I was surprised by my newfound archery skills. I only hit the close targets, so, no Olympic medals anytime soon, but for a first try, definitely not bad.

I was surprised I was able to hit the target with only a short lesson at Koteewi Archery Range.

Koteewi Archery Range hosts local and national tournaments. It appeals to all ages and skill levels. I loved that they had fun targets to aim at in addition to the typical bullseye variety.

How fun is it to try to hit a foam dinosaur or bear instead of just the bullseye target?

I love horses. Although I am not around them much, I will not pass up a chance to take a ride on these beautiful animals. I was fortunate enough to take a ride with the crew at K-Trails Equestrian Adventures. I was impressed by the clean and modern stable facilities and the number of horses that they had available to ride.

Horseback Riding near Indianapolis
The trails were easy on the riders and the horses.

Following a briefing on the horses and picking out a helmet, we started our 90-minute ride. We rode a planned trail in Strawtown Koteewi Park. The staff with K-Trails knows each horse’s temperaments and quirks. I knew that when my horse was lagging behind a little, I needed to give the horse a little encouragement to catch up by gently its side. It was a beautiful ride along the park’s wooded area.

They offer several options for rides, including family trail rides, group rides, sunset rides and pony rides (for those under the age of 7, who are not able to ride on the bigger horses).
