Trail Ride in the Jungle

It’s always fun when Jon decides to join me on a trail ride.
So on Sunday afternoon we went to the barn together, I borrowed Bita and Jon rode Brownie.
He’s really been improving on his riding lately and enjoys jogging the horse on the trails.
We walked down James Road and shifted into a higher gear once we reached the grassy extension until we saw a four-wheeler approaching in the distance. We didn’t realize that they had turned into a side trail to let us pass, so we took to much time, stopped and took pictures before we finally turned into another side trail. I was happy about the patience and consideration of these people!

We continued jogging through the jungle, this time Jon leading the “group”. He did well, even though he still has to hold on to the saddle. But he’s able to make Brownie jog, walk and stop. We even loped for a little bit.

The whole ride took an hour and was a lot of fun. When we got back to the barn, Baleigh was there giving her horse a shower – in flip-flops! Crazy girl! Stephanie arrived a little later with Pattie and Ruby in the trailer. We chatted a bit while she and Baleigh were doing chores.

To complete our “date”, Jon and I went to Cocoa Village to have Buffalo Salad and a Miller Light for dinner at Norman’s.
It’s so nice to do fun things with my Jon!
