7 Miles

Map of today's ride.

Erin and I rode seven miles on Jabby and Rayzer today. Rayzer was definitely being a mare today and I wasn't thrilled. She started off by refusing to get caught, but rattling a feed bucket changed her tune. I'll bet she was disappointed when the bucket turned out to be empty.

Rayzer and I warmed up around the farm with Herbie in tow while Erin got Jabby tacked up. Herbie was running along as fast as her little pibble legs could carry her, but couldn't quite keep up. Still, she was a good sport about it and I'll bet she's tired now. Unfortunately I don't trust Rayzer enough to bring Herbie off the farm with her.

Neither Erin or I wanted to do road riding with the two horses so we stuck to the nurseries. The horses had a learning experience on the main grounds. There were sprinklers and a peacock! Rayzer wasn't bothered by the sprinklers, but the peacock just about made her lose her mind. I may have cackled at her as she scooted backwards away from it.

On the way home, Erin and I ran into KR who was riding on her farm. Her Morgan, Remmy, really took a liking to Rayzer. She has another horse she wants to rehome who needs some miles. I wonder if she'd let me... borrow... him.

Rayzer was a lot less sweaty today than the last few rides. I have a ten mile loop planned for tomorrow and will be adding two miles a day until she's up to the 30 at the end of the month. Crazy Rayzie has no idea what she's in for.
