Awesome Ride

J and I went trail riding today. V and E didn't want to go - UNBELIEVABLE . The weather was perfect, sunny, upper 60's, no wind.

J rode Jessica. She had a small spell of trying to buck but got over it with about 5 minutes of lunging. J had a great ride on her after that.
Surprisingly, we didn't run into very many people out on the trails.
The trees and mountains were beautiful.
It's hard getting a picture of the horse you are riding. Hank did his best to cooperate.
He really is a super horse. I hardly ever had to hold the reins. A few times he did veer off the trail but only under the pretense of getting stuck in some bushes so he could eat. We rode for about 3 hours.
Jessica has put on quite a bit of weight since the endurance ride. It doesn't seem to take long for things to get out of shape, people included. I hope I'm not sore tomorrow.
