Baby Steps

Saturday was a good day for puddles. We have had almost three inches of rain this month, so the puddles and little creeks have filled back up. Out we went yesterday and first of all, the dogs at the house nearest the parking spot are getting bigger and louder and more aggressive. Jupes was crazy and I had to walk him out and on to the trail because I could not get on him. He had lost his mind and was not thinking about me and our team. Once I got on, he settled down.

When we got to the first little creek below the road, Toby was not going to go through it. So he and Lynn went through it a bunch of times. When we got to the big puddle up on top, he and Lynn got in it after doing a little more work. But the BIG news is that he went in the puddle with Shirley when we came back down. Jupes and I blocked his way to the bank and the puddle was wall to wall. Lynn came and rode on the left side of him and he walked in and all the way through!! Yaay! Of course he still jumps the little tiny trickle farther up the mountain, but it was a big success.

Sunday we rode Gray's Falls trail again. It was fun. It was a good day!
