Friday, May 26, 2023 – Wonderful Second Fourteen Mile Ride at Hungerford

Hiya Darlin’!
Another great night sleep, loathe to get out of bed when it’s in the 30’s, though, so I laid in to read a bit, though not as long as yesterday. Got up and did chores and breakfast, as usual, threw together a route to take today, and headed out with plans for a fantastic fourteen mile ride. I do love this place, every trail is so spectacular! I only had to get off to saw off one limb that had fallen, and it was already dead so it didn’t take long. I have to get myself one of those little mini-chainsaws though, for sure! I let Flash do whatever speed he wanted, and he mostly walked, which was fine for the most part, though he did start getting a bit faster as the day went on. When we finally came to the turn for home, I missed a trail, but Flash decided he knew the way, and suddenly got in a hurry to get there, so he jumped into his seven mph gait and took off down another trail. I wasn’t sure which way was the best way back, but he was convinced, so I let him go, and he kept that up almost all the way back to camp, several miles, which he found unerringly. He’s got a great memory, considering it’s been two years since we’ve been here! Lola kept up the whole way, now she’s out like a light! I won’t be far behind her, I want to be in bed nice and early tonight. I did walk down and help my friend Alayna with some lifting, she got married last year and now she’s ten weeks pregnant, so I’ll help her out however I can. They’ve also offered to let me use their horse trailer to transport Apollo, and if that’s the case, I’ll just let him got over to their house rather than the place I was going to board him. I had only decided on that place because it was close enough to pony Apollo over, but if I have a trailer, I can go the extra few miles. Anyway, time for tea, shower and bed! Good night, baby! Love you!
