| Another very "fresh" clear cut~ |
Should I say that I wasn't too saddened when my Sunday ride was cancelled? It was the hottest day of the year to date & the ride we'd planned was out in the open most of the way. Instead, Butch & I ran errands, met an incredibly handsome black Morgan stallion that had me re-thinking the "breeding" thing - owned by Sandra & standing at stud at Ensbrook Farm. We went to our favorite hang-out for a late lunch - then headed home. Not that there's not a zillion things to do this time of year.
So we re-scheduled our ride for today & Bracken Rd. Only one trailer there when we arrived, but a full lot as we were leaving. As you can see in the photo above, there is a new area of active logging now. Trees were falling & we decided it best to turn back & go by a different route.
Even if hot, I'm no fan of anything over 80... it was still so beautiful in the shade of the trees - everything leafing out - so many
shades of green that they'd be impossible to count or name! The trails are drying out nicely, so we could set a decent pace. Jesse & Farah seemed to do pretty well together - for only their second time out.
Farah wanted to open up a little & I let her blast up the hill - she didn't even take a deep breath at the top. She's as fit as she's ever been, healthy, happy & lots of "shine". Sure a nice way to go into the months of Summer. I'm thinking that an endurance ride might be fun, but we've the inspection to do first, then a much anticipated trip to the ocean in June - with friends! We've not been camping at beach for years - so the trip is long overdue!
