Today I met up with two friends, one just back from a successful endurance ride with her other horse & the other conditioning up for a possible 100-miler later in the season. I'm always just happy to have congenial riding friends :-)

A totally different day from yesterday - a layer of ocean air drifted in, overcast, cool - we had misty rain at home when I pulled out the gate. It had stayed dry further north & I was the first one at the parking area. We weren't out to break any speed records, just cover some ground - so I took point position :-) I think that Joyce & Charlotte figured that I couldn't possibly get them
too lost :-) Though I made a wrong turn somewhere in my attempt to duplicate yesterday's ride, I did manage a decent loop & we again knocked out 11-miles.

These two "Endurance" riders seemed to stick with me the entire ride! :-) The three of us hadn't been out on a ride together for a very long time. Schedules change, lives move on & even though the three of us ride often - it's not often that we manage to merge our schedules nowadays...

| Farah always has to unload, then grab some grass before we unsaddle! |
Farah is running on her first shoes not put on by Art... She's already managed to
reef one & bend it to the point where the balance is now off - so we have a call in to the Farrier who is new to us - that we used for the first time one week ago.

| Yep, Twisted... |
I'd warned him that we can't have much heel support without taking the front shoes off... At least it stayed on - but obviously I'm anxious for the re-set. Hoping to get the bugs worked out
Prior to our
AWS Inspection mid-month!
