Did a 45 min walk but wow had trouble getting past a spot on her driveway to get over there.
Virginia and Polly came along with the atv luckily cause I would have been on my hands and knees.


Took a different route with Sonny today I could not cross the driveway to go the way I had been going.
We still had an awesome walk and I did a bit of exploring on a path along the cranberry bog I had not taken and a hill area that overlooks the ring.
We got a couple of the challenges in = Went down on hill trail and 20 ft in it really was too dense so we very nicely backed out I had him stand on a teeny tiny flat rock not much bigger than his foot then he stood on a bigger rock and backed off that one cause it was very icy on the other side.
Polly I guess lol was watching me out the back of the barn and when I came around said omg I saw you were gonna have him stand on that rock form her angle she could not see I had checked to be sure the rock was not icy.
So I'm thrilled I started day one of the new year and I feel great for the walk.
Its quite nice out if it was not still so your term lol BLOODY icy .

totals

Sonny in hand .75 hrs


the little rock

the big rock

overlooking the ring from on the hill
its total ice




the hill was quite nice though

and so was the nice sunny path along the cranberry bog.

So day one accomplished only 364 more to go.

Well done H & G mum .....I didn't ride today my partner didn't feel well enough to stay up, so will start tomorrow

 

[horseandgoatmom]

You have been doing great so don't beat yourself up about today!

 

[Hailz22]

Took my new boy out to blow some steam today as we have a comp tomorrow! No pics as I was alone (unless you want a shot of his ears haha!) but we did some hillwork and he got a big bath afterwards.

I'm going with hours as we deal in the metric system so kilometres not miles!)
total so far 2017:
45mins

 

[horseandgoatmom]

Oh yes we love "thru the ears" shots.
Lots of us ride alone and that's all we can get

 

[PePo]

I'm in

We did 6km/3.7 miles today in about 43 minutes today & had a blast. I loved being out on our first hack of 2017 today as I'm sadly back at work tomorrow, although it was jolly cold ...!

A few snaps below:









Just a tad cold here this morning ... !
