Gettin' Out

The painting finally ended yesterday, Tuesday, afternoon.  As soon as we get the house back in order I’ll take some pictures.  Given how much we have to do it may be awhile so be patient.

This morning was a perfect morning so we decided to quit working on the house and we rode Sugar and Morgunn.  All of our riding since I got over my surgery has been in our back so they haven’t been out for a ride since last December before Christmas.

After working with them a little on the ground and riding them a little in the back, we headed out toward the arroyo that is South of us.  As we were riding up a dirt road we saw some men doing some work on the far West side of the open area.   We’re not sure what they’re doing, but the horses were very interested, but they didn’t get nervous or spooky.  Once we turned away from them they were fine.

They seemed to enjoy being out and, as I said above, it was a beautiful morning.  The temperature was about 50 degrees.  It was sunny and there was a gentle breeze.  An almost perfect day for a ride.

Both horses did well and we were happy with their performance.

We spent the rest of the day back in the clean up mode.

It's great to take a break Dan away from the decorating for a while.

Sounds like a wonderful outing and break from all the work.

Can't wait to see the photos.

So happy you had such a nice ride out. You deserve it after all the time off. Glad the horses weren't spooky.

Nice that you once again have the option to just do what you want! We never really appreciate that during "normal" quiet days until the options are reduced by surgery,etc. So happy for you!
