I had a wonderful, refreshing lunchtime ride on the Morgan Ball of Fire Kennebec Dorothy, otherwise known as Dozie. I had my hands full, she is one powerful and energetic mare, but she did listen to me and didn't blow me off. Originally, I was going to be riding Ulla's new Morgan Gabby, with Ulla on Daisy...but Daisy refused to load onto the trailer...so we made lemonade out of lemons and loaded Dozie instead. And, it was delicious lemonade, too. I never would have thought I'd be riding THIS horse last year at this time when I first met Ulla - this is the type of horse that I USED to love to ride. It feels good. In fact, it feels GREAT! The wind was gusty and brisk, and the landscape was just gorgeous in Range Pond State Park. There was a huge flock of Canadian geese on the bright blue water. 
Gabby and Dozie enjoyed splashing about. Sue's Saturn and Kid took a nice long drink out of the lake. Leaves blew in swirls around the horses' feet along the wooded paths. Not a hunter in sight, and we didn't hear a single gunshot, but we were prepared in advance with our red and orange.

What a way to spend a weekday lunchtime! I'd take riding with friends over eating, any day of the week.
