Today I made plans to ride with Brooke and Mary-Jo. It was going to be yet another hot humid day so we planned to head out by 9:00 am to hopefully avoid the worst of the heat. Mary-Jo wanted to take her horse Arthur on the trail that I took her on for his first "long" trail ride. It is a nice shady trail so seemed like a good choice for the day. Brooke arrived just a few minutes after 9:00. She helped me catch, groom and tack up Luke and Marie. Not that they are hard to catch especially since they have been pretty much hibernating in the barn in this heat and humidity. Mary-Jo arrived around 9:30 am. We were on trail by 10:00 am. While the ride didn't go quite as well as Mary-Jo had hoped Arthur has made some good strides with things like the water crossings. We kept the pace slow which was fine considering the heat. And it gave Luke and Marie plenty of chances to sample all the greenery much to their delight.
