Hi Babe!
Had a good night sleep, nice and quiet here, didn't even need earplugs for a change! After morning chores and breakfast, I saddled up Flash and headed out on trail, beginning with Big Beech, then Lakeview, then a bunch of smaller loops, and finishing off with Possum Ridge Loop back to camp. Even ran into a guy mowing the trail, and he wasn't the least bit phased by it. Was VERY glad I listened to my inner voice and put his breast collar on, the trails were much more hilly than I imagined! I should probably have put his boots on, it was a lock rockier than I expect, but I was afraid they would irritate the scab on his ankle, which he managed to completely rub off anyway. I treated it when we got back, and since I doubt I'll be able to ride him again before I leave for Peru, it should heal well over the next few weeks. He was brilliant, as always! Such poise and determination this horse has! Never flinched, even in the face of all those rocks. There were several deep mudholes as well, didn't bother him a bit. Man, I love this horse! Thoroughly enjoyed the day! Gave him a nice rinse off when I got back, and he ate and rested the rest of the afternoon. After dinner, I took Lola for another long walk, this time I remembered to measure it, and we covered over a mile and a half just walking around the other campground and back. Settled down for the rest of the evening, though I had a major spill and had to wash my clothes and the recliner cover. Glad I have electric and water! Headed to bed soon, so good night, sweetie! Love you!
