Hey Sweetie,
Woke up to quite a warm morning, today’s forecast is for the hottest day so far this year. Regardless, I had made arrangement to ride with a couple of ladies, one that had been on the OTL ride and a friend of hers who boards at the same barn. They arrived right on time, and by the time we were all saddled up and ready to go it was just shy of 10:30. Fortunately, there was a nice breeze, and I tried to plan it for trails that had at least some shade, and we ended up doing just over eight miles in three hours, exactly what they wanted to do. I rode Apollo today, because he needed the exercise and because both girls were riding stock horses so I figured it was a better fit, which turned out to be right on. Apollo had to jog occasionally to keep up, but that was fun, and we even got a short canter in after he stopped to pee and had to catch up! It was a lovely ride, and the girls got a good insight into how to follow a trail with minimal markers, though they were sure they would have gotten lost without me, which I tend to agree with, because I took them on a couple of different trails. After we got back, we sat around the picnic table on my “deck” and had lunch and chatted for awhile. Once they left, I did some chores, my rounds, my usual evening stuff, then settled down for the evening. I managed to get a load of laundry done, too, so a fund AND productive day! Time to wrap up this evening! Good night, babe! Love you!
