glenatron | An outstanding Sunday (Reply)

It was a fine day and we spent it about as well as a day might be spent. We went out with the ponies for a seven and a half mile loop in the morning. There were a lot of people about so we went onto some more distant trails where I figured we'd meet fewer people. It was genuinely wonderful.

Then I rode Xefira and then I got to sit on our friend's horse, which was really good fun as well.

A water main was leaking, making for a very wet road. Zorro wanted to stop and drink it all.

Over-the-ears-cam going up the hill.

Three deer sprang out in front of us and bounced off to our right. I managed to get two of them into this picture.

Small pony is a fine adventuring kind of a horse.

I love the weird contrast on this one. Some kind of crazy coincidence art.

Small really wanted to run here. You can see his point.

So that was our adventure!

Later I got to ride Filly. Her name is misleading- I think she got it when she was a filly, and it kind of stuck. she's in her early twenties now. She's well trained in a totally different style to the way I'm used to, so riding her was a bit like riding a road bike if you're used to riding mountain bikes- the principles are the same but the practicalities are different. She's a lovely moving horse and it was really nice to have a chance to ride her.
