With temperatures forecast to hit 92F today we decided to get an early start with the horses. First to go was Saumur, I rode him in the outdoor arena. He was a really good boy, despite the distractions (the neighbor wheeling the trash can to the street, bikes, trucks with boats, etc.). Saumur stayed focused and felt good.
On to Remy, while JP was getting Chambord ready. We both warmed them up (quite the oxymoron in these temps) together in the outdoor arena, and then decided to go on a trail ride. I was VERY impressed watching how JP and Chambord opened the gate of our outdoor arena (our outdoor arena has pasture height fencing all around). The very elegantly maneuvered the huge gate.
Out we went, down the road and into Kensington Park. Remy was like a seasoned trail horse :-). I told him all he had to do was stick behind the big white butt (Chambord's!). He marched along, very happy with himself and the world. He looked at things but wasn't bothered at all. What more could I ask?
Back home it was showers all around for the boys. They are now clean and smell good, not exactly something I can say about JP and me.. we still have to do the room-service (aka shovel manure).
