Monday, March 27, 2017 – First Ride In Jupiter Since the Big Adventure

After more than a week of rest and recuperation, Hubby and I are both back to almost normal, with him just having a little bit of a cough leftover from his cold, so we decided we were fit enough (and more than ready!) to take a ride. We saddled up our fat guys (my brother tends to overfeed a bit) and headed out the back gate along the canal. We headed along our usual route, out to the pagoda in the WMA area behind us. Having cantered so much on other people’s horses during our vacation, we did a bit more cantering today than usual, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our horses were so happy to be back on the trail, they really enjoyed stretching their legs! Instead of heading straight back, we went along another canal for a ways before crossing back through the neighborhood towards home. The dogs came with us, and they, too, were quite happy to be back on the trail. Just went about 4.4 miles in all, but the weather was perfect, everyone was on perfect behavior, and it was a lovely day! Looking forward to heading back home soon, though, as the temps are starting to get a bit higher than we like, into the 80’s, and next week they’re even calling for 90’s!
