Is there anything better than a sunny winter ride? Not much, in my book. Today, I was fortunate to ride with with some of my favorite trail buddies.The best part? Travis got to join us for the first time! For the first ride out, he was lucky enough to ride my trainer's mule--a world champion mule that is a dream to ride. For the second ride, I let him ride my dear Maxine, while I borrowed a friend's fantastic draft mule.
The second best part? The horseback rider was the odd man out--outnumbered by five mules and a donkey. Needless to say, it was a very uneventful trail ride, which is always a good thing.
The only bad part? My best riding buddy couldn't join us, because she was at work.
Personal observation: Where are her priorities?!?
Fortunately, we'll have many sunny Sundays to come! Of course, I'm not a fair-weather rider, so any given Sunday (or Friday, or Saturday--or "sick day") will do.

Where did you guys ride at? I noticed some pics you have of riding at Bristow. I board pretty close to that area, just wondering if you are in the vicinity too!
ReplyDeleteYou're right! I board Maxine and Madge in Creswell.
ReplyDeleteHow funny! I board in Creswell too, but its only a few miles off of Hwy 58 so its more like Pleasant Hill. Maybe we'll see you at Bristow this summer!
