How much fun it was to meet a friend and take an early morning ride. The bugs were miserable in the

woods, but out in the open you barely noticed them.
It’s easy to kill an hour or so hacking in the summer sunshine, letting your horse grab a snack along the way (Zelda was adamant about the need for a snack). Too often I ride alone and I really enjoyed sharing this beautiful spot.
only thing better is if YOU were both eating wild blackberries!
