After a quiet morning, I managed to get Hubby up on Flash (though he was feeling a bit weak, I persuaded him to try it anyway), and he wanted to go as far down the Indiantown Grade to the west as possible, with an eye toward getting to Pratt-Whitney Road. We ended up getting about halfway there before he got too tired to continue, so we headed back. Flash was brilliant, staying at a nice walk the entire way, something I could be hard-pressed to do with him, as he usually insists on going faster. It's almost like he knows Hubby needs special care, and gives it to him. Apollo was sluggish, with more reluctance than usual, probably because brother Jeff tried to ride him last week and he resisted, and my brother wasn't able to get him going, so Apollo thought he got away with something, and he was trying the same thing with me. Of course, he didn't get away with it with me, but it made him crankier than usual, and we had a bit of a fight along the way until he finally settled down. Everybody got home in one piece, with Hubby feeling the workout, which is a good thing. Got the horses put away and settled down for the rest of the day, with showers and laundry on the menu!
