Yes, much be gorgeous on coast. Much more alarming up where I am; temps. pushing 88....that's way too hot for this time of year. The poor horses still have winter coats. It's getting a bit hotter ever year......
It's about 77 degrees here on the central CA coast....such beautiful weather for a ride! No breeze, just glorious warmth. Trails dry enough to ride without slipping all over the place. I took Banner out, led Cloud for about a mile, just so he wouldn't turn around and go home when I let him loose. I pushed Banner a bit.....faster walk, more trotting, quite a bit of cantering. I can see the muscle mass increasing. Cloud would lag behind a little, then gallop to catch up. It was rather fun. I've been waiting all winter for a day like this. Not very March-like, except for hearing the first Barn Swallows investigating their nesting options in our garage. They're about one week early this year. After the ride, I gave Banner a nice tepid bath and turned him out to grass. The horses think they've died and gone to heaven.
