Nov. 17th, 2003 12:10 am1. Went for a 10+ mile bike ride with Kylie this afternoon. Not a long ride, but I no longer have to apologize for not being hard-core. I mean, I was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt, ferchristsake. It was fun until her face froze and fell off.
2. Got to the barn late, as the group was already tacked up and leaving on a trail ride. I brushed out Cheyenne as quickly as possible (I use a shedding comb year-round on that boy - cuts through dried mud like anything), and caught up to them just as they were starting back. On the way out, he was fairly tentative, and seemed a bit tender-footed. I think he's just not used to the hard ground. But on the way back, he was paying more attention to the other horses (he was last, since we arrived last), and was right on their collective tail regardless of the gait or speed.
3. I just did my first official Christmas Shoping of the season. Mind, it was for a couple of blokes I'd never met before this June. And it was incredibly obvious - the Resource Revival bottle opener and the Fat Tire beer glass. Fat Tire being, of course, the most sublime beer on the face of the earth. Alas, it's only available as far east as Missouri. And of course, Andy is a Brit and will drink anything, and Dan prefers Corona above all else. But this will remind them of the many fine beers we shared last summer.

I swear it took longer to walk him out than it did to ride. It was warm(ish), he has his winter coat, he's somewhat out of shape, and he was jockeying with three other horses, so he got pretty lathered.
