Stay safe. We know from our travels driving through USA West that American weather is fiercer than what we have here.

The 5pm news said there was a small tornado in Thompson Ct.
Thats not that far from here.
There is a raceway in Thompson and you can heat the cars on the track when there is a race.
As of now Henri will go over Block Island
So we will be on the west side.
The rainy side.
But the track can change a lot before it gets here.

That looks a lovely place to hack @Finalcanter. I am jealous. If it is the first ride for ten months I guess you may have been quite tired afterwardds. Your name suggests you are an older rider, but final canter sounds pessimistic.
I dont know the language precisely. The hat and tack suggest you are in USA? I am in the UK and a trail ride for me is a horseback outing for us tourists in the USA. That means it has always followed a set route. In UK, a hack is only ever riding on a horse, riding outside the riding school, and riding anywhere. Usually a hack is on public roads and specified horse tracks. Or on farmers' land where the rider may have paid a fee to ride.

Well over hear we call it a hack but western riders over here call it a trail ride.
Someone i work for teaches western and he refers to a ride up the hill with clients as a trail ride. I could ride the same route but id call it a hack. When he talks general horse to me he refers to it as a hack or mainly just uses the term ride.
Our use of the actual word ...hack..
over here is not horse related at
All.
It has more of a lax incompetent meaning.
You might get work done on a house etc and say Omg what a ...HACK JOB...
meaning it wasn't very good.
Or say something like xxx the carpenter or handyman is a HACK....
meaning his work is not good.
Even state to state here its amazing what different things are called.
Lots of places here unless you go to a national chain like McDonald's or Burger King etc.
If you ask for a milkshake ...say a chocolate milkshake...you get.
Chocolate milk.
I grew up a MILKSHAKE is milk and ice cream spun together to make a thick
Creamy drink.
Here its called a CABINET..
Lol I store things in A CABINET.

Word associations are just crazy.
I get loads of foreigners talk about the hill i live on as a mountain. To be a mountain it has to be over a certain height. Mine hill in the scheme of things is really only a little bump in the ground.

Yes I'm 26. My username is just carried over from other horse forums. Think of it as the 'final canter' in a dressage test. The last big movement. But anywho-
Yes I'm in the USA. We pay a fee most times to ride these lands but we can take different routes. Each area is ao different but this park is my favorite.
Where in the USA are you??
I'm in Rhode Island.
The fee up here at parks are nominal..
Mostly a parking fee.
Many are free..
GODDARD PARK
my all time favorite has a huge ring and beach access along with lovely sandy trails.
GREAT BROOK PARK
is nice too with lots of jumps spread around for people that want to jump.
Parks are nice with no atv or dirt bikes and NO HUNTING.
FORESTS are not supposed to have the atv...dirt bikes but they do...ugh
And they all allow hunting.

I guess whatI meant was you have to pay the stables to use their horses. I'm in New York. Parks and nature preserves are free to walk and hike in.
OH and I were able to go on trail rides in all the National Parks we visited in the USA. But opening was seasonal. We were told that that in winter the horses went elsewhere for the hunting.
As for the word Hack, there have been other threads on this. It was an abreviation of Hackney, not the London place name of today nor of the word hack meanng to cut roughly, but the Old English word for an ambling or gaited horse which might be let out for hire. So not of the first quality and for hire and thus transfered to a freelance journalist. We also use it of an expression that is over used. Hackneyed.

No play today its been a hell of a stressful day
I left the gate open a moment today to look for the 5 gal pails and lids to stockpile some water.
And was eating hay no where near the gate.
In a blink she bolted out..
My fault to not shut it but i was stressed and woke. Way before 3.
IT ONLY TAKES A,BLOODY SECOND
POOR SONNY she chased him being
A brat he wasnt happy at all
His gate was shut.
No way was she gonna stop
Thank god the little rope contained her.
Sonny got one little scrape
I got his gate open he flew in
Then she finally flew into her room area.
Thank god hes fine.
It could have been lots worse
The goats were all in a tizzy..
All staring watching.
They knew mom REALLY REALLY SCREWED UP.
Henri has been tracking further west and was going to go right over us
But last update put it bit further west over the middle of Connecticut.
Keeping us out of the really bad winds..
Any bit more west will help more and more to lessen winds.
There is still another day for it to change.
Morons on the coast are gonna party.
Mostly holiday people.
They really should have been told
To LEAVE..
The smaller and further away the
Dark orange and red gets the better.
