25 minutes - 1.21 miles - Morgan
21 minutes - 0.11 miles - Rhulain - groundwork
The kid has his first trail riding lesson with the trainer today. They were gone an hour, which is the longest time he's ever spent on horseback. The trainer she said he did pretty well, but sometimes he daydreamed and forgot to watch where the horse was going. :)
While we were gone, the other side of the mare motel got graded. Now we can begin working on the turn out and the goat pen.
The light was fading fast, so Morgan and I only got in a short ride. She was fine up until we headed towards the gate ... then the neighbor's dogs rushed at us in full force, yapping and running underfoot. I hopped off and shooed all six of them away while she stood still waiting for me.
I had a few minutes before it became too dark to see, so I grabbed Rhulain. She was clingy and seemed really nervous in the dark. So we worked on holding still while I mounted, and then flexing her neck to both sides. It was a good session.
