Sunday, February 11, 2024 – Ride on Apollo

Hey Babe,
Despite being so tired from all the activity yesterday, I still had a lot of trouble falling asleep, so I woke up a bit tired this morning. Did my usual chores, had a breakfast that was mostly strawberries and milk with just a few bit of frosted mini-wheats thrown in, which was absolutely delicious! I watched all the campers packing up (all four spots were taken last night), read for a little bit, then finally mustered enough energy to saddle up Apollo for a ride. It's been awhile,and he's obviously getting bored, so I took him on a bit of a longer ride. He behaved himself for the most part, except one section where he refused to go, so I had to get down and walk a short ways to get him past whatever it was. The rest of the five plus miles went smoothly, but I noticed the Blue Long trail here is marked as six miles, but it's really just barely over five. We did it in under two hours, and I was happy to see the trail was in good shape, with just a couple of small things that might need attention, but not much. Once we got back, I trimmed his front feet, but I was too tired to do his back feet, I'll tackle them next time. Settled down in my recliner and started to read, but ended up falling asleep for a couple of hours! Finally woke up enough to feed the horses and settled down for the evening, continuing to binge-watch The Crown so I can finally cancel Netflix, though I think there's another season of Outlander that's come out, so I'll probably finish with that. Won't be long out of bed tonight, despite my nap this afternoon! Good night, sweetheart! Love you!
