All is Right in My World!

 

Jupiter got shoes yesterday and both TC and Ziggy had their feet trimmed. IT'S TIME!! Woohoo! I had planned on being ready--permission or not--to ride Memorial Day Weekend, but it came early. I have been released to ride (with a few caveats). So ride we did! It felt so good to be in the saddle.

I finally got to see the logging operation. Like a dummy, I did not take a picture, but I will next time. Just like Lynn said, there is only really the one spot that affects our trail. Both boys acted like their feet were a little tender from yesterday's foot work, but we got all the way to the puddle meadow and then we went down and around and back up. We kept it short. Jupes is chubby and out of shape and Ziva isn't in top form either, so it was a perfect amount of time (about 3 hours). 

TC did puddles when it was just he and Lynn, but he didn't want anything to do with this one. Jupes headed straight for it immediately and got a drink. After TC balked a few times, Lynn said, "Ok Jupe," and we went in it again. This time he pawed some and I got him to walk out before he decided he was hot and was going to lay down! TC went in twice and then went through another one and he walked over the original little gutter water he used to jump in the bushes to avoid. He's doing so good! It's a testament to the trust he and Lynn have with each other.

Poor Lynn had to listen to me jabber the whole time. She had gotten used to those solitary, quiet rides. lol Too bad! I'm coming every chance I'm given. Here's our new song for the trail:

The Clap Song by Shirley Ellis

Here's the lyrics so you can drive Lee crazy! Bring back the '60s! LOL  Lyrics

I'm looking forward to lots of riding and singing on the trail.
