Horseback riding screencap analysis *SPOILERS*

That's what is driving me nuts about this. Noelle loves horseback riding and show jumping. Everything points to this being Colorado over everything else (except didn't someone say there was snow on the ground back then?) and yet you can't mistake Amanda's backside in the piggyback ride or, IMO, the hair colour and length.

If only we could find a screencap of a riding trail near Noelle's hometown that matches up it would be a slam dunk.

Add to that, if you watch the riding in HD, you clearly see that the length of her hair is just at the top of the breast. There is a slight gust of wind that blows her hair, and the horses tails and manes, so she is reaching up to move it out of her face.

I know that we discounted this being in Britain because of the English saddle. Is it possible that there is riding trails over there that would match this? Britain is cold so the clothing makes sense. Also, I don't think we should discount it simply because a guy in the background is wearing a cowboy hat.

Okay, I'm still searching but I found this. I just can't find photos of what the trails look like.

Lynn7 - this looks to be a riding school, more than a touring stable. They do offer hack rides on trails and through their farmland, but I think it is a bit of a stretch.

Well, it's actually theme trail rides that they offer along with other types of riding. I just can't find out what these theme trail rides are.

It probably is a huge stretch.

I've been watching in HD as well and have been convinced from the get-go that it's Noelle.

Someone pointed out in an earlier post that Matt gets a bit sunburned at either the tennis or rugby dates and so this could be a residual sunburn from that.

As far as this sc is concerned:

This is at Sun Valley--Trail Creek Cabin which is affiliated to Sun Valley Resort. The fireplace matches up to the ones in their facility. I can't tell if it's with the sleigh ride date or the ice skating date though.

You know, this certainly would answer ALL of our questions if they offer 'American-themed' horseback riding!!!! I haveta admit, I've got lots of minutes on my Int'l calling card from hubby's trip to Europe, so I just tried calling, but I think I'm missing their area code.

I was really hoping to get some answers so we could put this to rest!!

Not so sure about the sunburn-- if you check out his cheeks in Vegas, you'll see they're red then as well. I think he's just one of those people whose cheeks get rosy when he's drinking, warm, etc., etc. It happens to me all the time; if I'm going out partying, I can often get away with no blush and have no problems.
