Hi. I'm just gobsmacked by this weather. I have plenty to do but I don't want to do anything but go to the barn. I'm re-riding (is that the term?) after not having a horse for almost 30 years. At 66. I'm half-leasing a spotted draft horse named Duke. He's big oaf and I've been taking things very sslllloooowwwwww ... We spent all summer walking around the indoor while I got my horse legs about me and got the hang of something so ginormous. I've been rather shockingly terrified. I'm finally trusting that he is too lazy to put much effort into spooking or leaping around. Ahhhhh...
It was so perfect - one of those days that revives your soul!
^^^ This last couple weeks has been all about outside and I am SO HAPPY. We've been taking daily moseys around the cut cornfields, going slightly further each day. I'm riding alone, so am grateful that Duke is willing to at least plod out and about without making a fuss. The pace does pick up a bit when heading back to the barn, but he's being so reasonable. Heart singing!
Big wind and rain coming on Wed, but temps still staying in the 50s mostly, for the next two weeks.
