Pure Joy

I have started running with Farley in the evenings. Most week day evenings I’m trading boots, half chaps, and riding gloves for my Saucony’s, Timex Ironman watch, and an ipod.

For the gelding update, scroll to the bottom.The Kaweah Horsemasters lesson on Saturday was cancelled, so Friday night I was faced with a delimeana: Have horse, will travel, but where to travel to?
