Year Off

J hasn't made much time for riding for almost a year now.  

Jessica had that bad episode last July when we tried to trail ride, sweating, stopping, high pulse after just walking a mile.  She has been running around out in the field like there is not problem.  (other than being 20 years old and stiff from her episode with Lyme disease.)  So is that Jessica or J with a year off.  Sounds like both. 

Today, J decided to go for a ride with me and Draper.  Draper rarely gets to go out with another horse.  I mostly just ride around the farm by myself.  So this was a treat to have J and Jessica. 

Jessica was back to her old self, walking out with a purpose.  

And no issues after about an hour around the farm.  Maybe we will get to try a trail ride again soon.
