Horse Meets Horsepower

Took AhD out after work to try out the bareback pad, and the first thing we did was to check out our new motorcycle. AhD was pretty curious; perhaps a bit intimidated by all that horsepower?? He is always very suspicious of new vehicles in the yard. We crossed the road, and rode down to the ponds. I absolutely love this new pad, thanks Denise! It is comfy and much less slickery than AhD's shiny curly coat. We tested it in four gears, w/t/c and Curly Shuffle - but we will leave overdrive to another day! I can tell I am using new muscles to sit to AhD's very English trot. I love the way I can wrap my legs right around his barrel and feel close to him.
I said a prayer for my fellow RACer Terri's family and friends as AhD strode along. Every minute of our lives is precious.

  2. Denise, I just watched your video on the RAC, and saw that you were using this very same pad. You were having such a good time, and yes, don't the woods smell so good after a rain. As you go forward, please keep in mind...stay in the moment, don't play "what if" games,and set yourself up for success. :)
