Guess Who I Rode Last Evening...
Yes, after Far's bath yesterday evening and liberal application of conditioner to his mane, I threw the saddle on him, put the bit in his mouth, jumped on and walked him around the arena. I was probably on his back for 15 minutes. What a rush! It was good to be back on him - I could feel the "far" in his belly; his eyes were bugged out, but I could tell he was happy to be there and he settled right in. He felt good and even at a walk - kinda - I could tell the left hind shoe was missing. New shoes on Wednesday for the first time since May, and first ride on him since May. We both had fun!

Far, getting plumper by the day, waiting for his maiden July voyage.
This morning, Rusty and I made his paddock bigger. He showed his appreciation by trotting around it and making sure he familiarized himself with all the smells.

Left: before - the original size of the paddock. Right: after - the new, improved version.
