After a leisurely breakfast I fixed for us and my brother, Brother and I went for a nice long ride around the neighborhood. He lives in an area that is steeped with equestrians, and there are paths beside every canal and wide shoulders along every road in order to accommodate horses, so we just weaved up a road and down a canal for nearly three hours. He used to have horses a long time ago (when he had a wife and stepdaughter), but he hadn’t been on one in ten years, and he never was much of a rider, but he managed to stay on well if nothing else! It was fun, we had a good time, and we were able to chat and catch up on old times. The horses, of course, were brilliant, despite the strange rider and new saddle (Brother had a nice saddle he retrieved from his closet and cleaned up yesterday), but typically, Clio still refused to canter, though I got a few nice ones in on Apollo. Weather was again warmer than usual, but there was enough of a breeze and occasional shade on the journey to make it comfortable. We’ve been getting some sun, so we’re starting to look nice and healthy!
