Cierra and I managed to get out for a ride today. It was only in the low 20's but sunny and very little wind so a fine day to ride. Unfortunately we can't ride the trails now because the snow is just too deep. Cierra tried to ride out back of the house but the drifts in the woods were so deep her horse wasn't even able to find footing underneath. So, today we had to stay on the paved roads. But, just getting out at all was good enough for us.
We headed out around 2:30 pm. When Cierra was getting her phone out of her car, her silly mare, Tinkerbell, was licking her car. We rode to the overpass of I-95. It was only the 2nd time Tinkerbell has been over the overpass and she didn't even blink an eye about it. On the way back, we came across 3 snowmobile's heading towards us. Tinkerbell has never seen them before, at least not while riding so we didn't know how she'd react to them. When they spotted us, they stopped and turned off their machines and were so nice. Tinkerbell was very curious as we went by and wanted to go over and check them out. We stopped once we were behind them and asked if they would turn them on and move off while we were right there to see how Tinkerbell would react. It didn't bother Tinkerbell at all. We had 2 more snowmobiles pass us a little later. Neither Tink or Marie cared at all. So nice to have such steady, dependable girls to ride. And even if we were stuck to riding the paved roads, it was nice to be out.
