Some people are
addicted to the gym - working out every day. Others to a sport - basketball, running, cycling etc. For years - when asked, I'd tell people I was working to support my
addiction & it began with "H". The looks I received were priceless :-) Ten to twelve-hour days were the norm for many years. The commutes I did then - probably couldn't even be
done now...
Even with a teenage daughter still at home, we found the time to work on our place, take some camping trips & within a couple years - pursue our newest
addiction - horse riding! Maybe it's age creeping up - but looking back, I don't know how we did it.
Now - riding is the
addiction that draws me often. Since I seldom write about private life - it probably seems to anyone who reads this blog - that it's all I do! Farah & I go out about three times a week & are averaging about 100-miles a month +/-. Our schedule seems to work for us both - our off time we enjoy & our ride time we enjoy. Balance? Isn't that what we're told is something to strive for in our daily life? :-)
I left home late in the afternoon, had too much to get done & didn't want to be caught out in a thunderstorm. It was worth the wait - cool & perfect.

It seemed everywhere I looked was Color! Against the gray skies - it popped!

Even after the light rain we received overnight - everything was still very dry. Footing rock hard & nice to have those pads on.
I had to admire the sea of green... even though I know it as a hated evasive... Of course Farah finds it exactly as wonderful as the reason it was imported here...

No gym for me, no knees for running anymore - but saddle time gives me that wonderful boost that nothing like a good physical workout in the great outdoors, riding a good horse can provide!
