Fabulous ride!!

After a very long winter, spring has finally arrived. The yard needs to be mowed, the fence needs to be worked on, and I have 2 hibiscus roots sitting in a bucket of water to be planted, but today was 65 and sunny so I went riding instead! Makes perfect sense to me.

Two of my friends and I met up at a central location place that has hundreds and hundreds of acres for riding. Over a 6 mile ride, we all worked on things with our horses that needed it, and all had success. We also went for several raucous gallops. It was heaven!! When we got back to the trailers, I hated for our perfect day to end. The horses were ready for it to end however, they were sweaty, hot, and tired after the warm weather in the remnants of their winter hair, but I could have galloped off for another round. :-)

It was amazing to look at the clock after loading up and heading back home. How can the time fly by so quickly when we are doing something we love?

Being with horses is my "church", it is my peace, my tranquility, my relaxation, and my fun. (Well, except for the very rare rides that go awry, then... not so much.) Everyone should have something in their life that brings them this feeling.
