a long, long ride
I left the house around 8 o'clock this morning, figuring I'd get my ride in before it turned too hot. But I made a mistake I haven't made for quite some time: I waited until I was getting sore and tired before turning back toward home. So of course, I was almost unable to walk by the time I got home at 11 AM. I find I can handle a two-hour ride very well, but anything longer really gets to my old bones. Anyhow, I enjoyed the scenery on a road where I don't often ride. When we got back, I cooled Blue off with the garden hose, and he seemed to appreciate that. Cliff and the neighbor boys got another 56 bales of hay put in the barn while I was riding, so they were tired too.

Don't know if I am right or not but I have always been told not to turn a cold water hose on a hot sweaty animal. I do know that we once had two boar hogs that were fighting and one was worn out and hot & I turned the water hose on it to cool it off & it collapsed right in front of my eyes and he was gone immediately. Thought you might want to see if you can check that out. I would hate for that to happen to Blue. I don't mean to sound bossy or anything. Helen
ReplyDeleteI love the fence/gate for that new house! I wish I could see the house too. It's so pretty. I'd love to have something like that set around my property (if I had any). LOL
ReplyDeleteMosie, you amaze me girl! I don't see how in the world you ride those horses like you do! I would not be able to get my leg over one! lol
