Spent a good part of the day on the computer. Having trouble finding a place to stay near Rochester, never thought it would be this hard. There are scores of stables within a 50 mile radius, but for some reason, I can’t seem to find one that will say yes to the horses and the RV. Lots of show barns, so I can sort of understand it, but even farms with hundreds of acres of property claim they can’t accommodate our RV, which seems really weird to me. With all the times when we’ve had to find a place, we’ve never had such a hard time before. It looks like an old friend of mine might be able to take us in for the weekend, her neighbor has pastures, so she’s checking to see if they can take in the horses, while we park in her driveway. I hope we can work something out, this is getting so frustrating! Later in the day, we decided to take a short ride just to keep the horses occupied (it’s amazing, they seem to just be begging to go for a ride after a day or two!), so we saddled up and headed out the Seneca Trail, a fairly short loop that took us just over 90 minutes or so. Another nice ride, with a lot of unmarked trails and roads going off of it. Hubby and I are looking forward to a time when we know all of the main trails well enough to feel safe venturing off on some of these smaller trails. Had a few nice opportunities to do long trots and even a few short canters, and it was mostly through woods, with only a few grades. Several road crossings, but no big deal. Enjoyed it, just the right length to keep the horses, and us, in shape!
