Sorry to bore you with another trail ride.
It’s just that time is running short for riding and I sure don’t expect a warm fall and winter like last year, so I’m getting in as much riding as I can these days.
Last week I rode alone. Twice. It’s very different riding alone. I have plenty of time to think, pray, reflect, relax and unwind.
I like riding alone.
I also enjoy riding with Karen (and whoever else). The camaraderie of other riders is fun and its a good time to “talk out” what is on our heart and minds.
Both times I rode last week were on the camp river trail. I only had my little camera along and only on the second ride. Lucky you … little camera has a video option! Now you can experience a river ride too!
While watching that video, I got a fabulous idea! Next time I ride through camp, I’ll take a video so you all can experience camp on a virtual horseback ride. I know. exciting. It does give me an excuse to ride again.
Every time I ride alone, when I return, I ride by the other horses at Karen’s (Gwenny, Zephyr, Vegas and Faith) for one reason. I love watching them as they realize Layla and I have returned … then watch them come running to us with nickers and whinnies all excited that we are home.
I wait for them all to come to the fence, then I head back to the stable. Within a few seconds they all come running along side Layla and I.
It is a beautiful sight to see (and hear) the horses run along side us. I was a little slow getting the camera out of my coat pocket and missed some of the hurrah, but you will get the idea….
