(Which in my case is more like plodding wearily forward, but hey, at least I’m still moving!)
This spring time change always hits me much harder than “falling back”… I was at my long-anticipated Shanghai trail ride - purely a social event, not for any points or mileage. Still a lot of work & a lot of driving - I don’t know how much longer the benefits will outperform the wear n’ tear? It was great to see all my friends, not to mention my friend Tina was effusively thankful that I hauled dear ol’ Silas to be her mount. Silas himself was proud of being selected - he’s such a good, unassuming, quietly competent gelding! Mr Twoie performed admirably also - I don’t seem to be able to share the video clip of him leading the way across our last obstacle, the scary metal bridge! but I took a couple of screenshots that I will add later. Fearless Leader Cindy’s horse balked, her granddaughter’s did the same - dear Twoie sidestepped right around to pick up the lead.
And Saturday night, I saved a life when I almost stepped on a juvenile rat snake who had apparently gotten accidentally backed over in the driveway. He got a little “squished” with some head trauma & broken teeth but thank goodness it was mostly soft sand. I brought him home with me for treatment but I should be able to return him to his home turf at the end of this month when I go back for our endurance event at Pierce Ranch.
