I brought a bag of apples and carrots for horses, pony, and donkeys, and one very ripe pear, so I bought my way back into the good graces of the herd. I have to say though, like always, Keil Bay turned his rear to me when I first came out to the barn. I think this is the longest I've ever been away since he came to live with me 10 years ago.
Unfortunately the afternoon was too busy to get in a ride, but next morning, in spite of gusting wind and cold I decided that I had to be back to our schedule. Dear daughter tacked up Cody and we rode together. Both Rafer and Redford climbed into the arena through the fence and joined us - Redford lay down on top of X and took a few rolls before watching, then the two marched side by side behind us.
Sometimes the best rides come after a break - this one was especially sweet.
It's always good to be home again. I hope Keil Bay has forgiven you by now. Your ride sounds like loads of fun with good company.
ReplyDeleteA, he is a forgiving soul, but seems to need to show his displeasure when I first return home. He does this every single time I go away.
ReplyDeleteWe're all very glad to have you home!
ReplyDeleteSilk lets me know that she's not happy after I've been away too. This last trip, she had a very upset tummy when I got back which was pretty scary for a couple of days. At least Keil Bay didn't try that one! Sounds like everyone is glad that you're home again.
