Hiya Babe,
Another good night sleep, got my morning chores done, then brought Flash out and trimmed his feet. They’ve gotten a little choppy so I’m trying to straighten them out. Got him all saddled up, then Jackie arrived just after 10:00, and it wasn’t long before we headed out on the green trail. As usual, I was giving her pointers on the new trail marking system, and she picked it up very quickly. It’s very easy once you understand the basic principles, even if it seems a bit complicated at first blush. We have a very nice 6+ mile ride. She rode the horse that gave her friend a bit of trouble yesterday, just because she’s not getting ridden enough, and his coloring is so much like Flash it was notable. She kept up well, too, we were very well matched, did a lot of leapfrogging as to who was leading, and they both behaved well. on the trail. Still pretty wet out there, but there’s no rain in the forecast for the next ten plus days, so hopefully I’ll be able to put the final touches on the trail markings in the next few weeks. Even hoping to get a mow in before Thanksgiving, if possible. Spent some time talking with some of the hunters, doing my best to get everyone thinking “sharing” as far as the property goes. Discovered an open spigot at the horse wash rack by the old well, the pump was constantly running and there was no chlorine in the tank, so I refilled it with water and a gallon of bleach to get it back on track. Finally settled down, made some humus, binge-watched some TV, and generally settled down for the evening. Getting darker a lot earlier, and of course, it will soon be back to daylight standard time, so big changes in my routine to come! Did several loads of laundry as well, my typical Sunday! Headed to shower and bed here shortly. Love you, sweetie! Good night!
