Betty and I went horseback riding again this morning. It was a another beautiful day. We rode for about an hour. Sugar had one 'spook in place' when some dogs started barking and Betty handled it beautifully.
We both can tell that we haven't been riding regularly for a long while. We're feeling muscles that we don't normally notice. Hopefully, the weather will stay decent enough so we can ride a couple of times a week from this point on.
Today is January 9 and if today is your Birthday then you share your day with: Dave Matthew (singer, The Dave Matthews Band), Crystal Gale (country singer), Jimmy Page (songwriter/guitarist for Led Zeppelin), Joan Baez (folk singer), Susannah York (British actress), Bob Denver (Gilligan), and Richard Nixon (37th US President).
On this day in 1626 Peter Minuit sets sail from Amsterdam to Manhattan, which he later purchased from the Indians. In 1788 Connecticut became the fifth state to ratify the US Constitution. In 1799 the first income tax was imposed in England. In 1929 The Seeing Eye was incorporated in Nashville, Tennessee. Its purpose was to train dogs to guide the blind. In 1951 the United Nations headquarters officially opened in New York City. And in 1984 Clara Peller was first seen by TV viewers in the now-famous and horribly annoying, yet wonderfully successful, "WHERES THE BEEF?", commercial campaign for Wendys fast-food chain.

It's great that you're enjoying riding again.
Picture of the barking dog is where? Kidding of course.
Great job, Betty.
