Rode with Bill & Majesty and T & Red
Went to country corners on the flat road
First time since late April Bill was in the saddle. Majesty was good as gold, but they turned back after about 30 minutes. Still too soon ... Bill needs more recovery time.
Morgan has only been ridden for 20-30 minutes at a time and usually only two or three blocks since we returned from vacation. She was definitely tired after 1.5 hours in 90+° weather, but she was a trooper. She followed Red for most of the trip, and this seemed to be OK. Had a little bit of anxiety when Bill turned back, and we had "discussions" about it for a few minutes. We stopped in the shade and let them rest for 10 minutes, but Morgie doesn't do standing still well so we headed back through the open desert.
Dropped T off at her house and headed home. Got to watch the sun set from the saddle. Exactly the ride I needed! Morgie didn't want her treat when we got home and stood perfectly still for a quick rinse - which is unusual, but expected.
I have missed riding SOOOO much!
