So I'm finally feeling good about my riding and caught up on my work and guess what: My truck breaks down. I feel like I'm in Hotel California, this lovely place that's marred only by the fact that "you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave." Oh, well. The Jansens have about 500 boxes of Spongebob Squarepants mac-n-cheese stockpiled in their cabinet and I've got my laptop and my horse and a few thousand acres to explore, so it's not like really have anywhere to go anyway. Except, you know, home.
Anyway, I had the truck towed back to the farm and we'll see what's going on with it tomorrow--the power just died. I replaced the battery a couple months ago and JUST replaced the alternator last week, so I'm definitely curious. Thank goodness for extended warranties.
Took Esprit to FENCE today for a long trail ride and a couple gallops up the hill. Doing the hill usually gives me a pretty good indication of where my horse is at fitness-wise, and today it indicated that Esprit and I both need to start hitting the cardio. Yup. It wasn't as dazzlingly beautiful today as it has been, kind of cool and drizzly, but I am NOT complaining. This is about as good as January gets.
Love the photo of your Ariat paddock boots. I may steal this for my FB profile pic, as mine look almost identical. Funny what they say about "walking a mile in another man's shoes," when our own shoes are inevitably so similar. :-)
ReplyDeleteNice:) I go through about a pair of Ariats a year and these ones are just about at the end of their road. I always have a hard time telling them goodbye for some reason, even when my socks get soaked everytime I go out in them.
