so i went for a ride again today. this week i actually rode tuesday, friday, and today. of course this means i won't be able to actually walk while i am at work for a while until my thighs get used to holding on to a wide straddle...
and buddy's a big fucker, too. 17 hands. that means i have to get my little left foot somewhere between my hip and my shouler in order to haul myself into that saddle!
so today we went a little further than we had gone before... i'm exploring the washes around here because one of them can get me into town- it's about four miles so i'm taking many trips, each one a little longer as the both of us are soooo out of practice. so all the natural washes run through here (ok, nextime i will take my camera...) and they provide the best route into town, as in the most direct, and the clip clops get to run in the soft sand and there are no cars :)
today we took the wash from curly bill all the way to scheifflen- and back a different way using an overland trail. yes, there were plenty of rattlesnakes (heard, but no seen thank you!) at least that's what the rattles are for, right? "i'm here, ok? so don't bother me!" and i'm lucky to have a brialliant horse that spooks at his own shadow-- but fortunately nothing else.
so then we got back by taking the trail up from the wash to the high pressure gas line on the hill with the fence around it, and we had to go around a fence using a little quad trail (oh that's something else cool about this town- it is legal to drive quads and golf carts on the city streets, so everybody does, and in october, there are golf cart races!
which brings me to: I live in MAYBERRY! like i was telling miss s the other day, on my way home from the bordello, i was pulled over for a perdiddle (you know, one headlight) he even made a u turn to pull me over. wanker. so he gave me the fix it ticket for the light, but he didn't comment on my lack of a seatbelt (except to say, "thank you for wearing your seat belt." of course sir! and when i get the light replaced (which Mr. K has done for me :) i am to go to the tombstone marshalls office to have them check it. whee mayberry!
so mayberry aside, buddy and i made it back to to the DK corral and i gave him a bath. that boy loves water, he even drinks it out of the hose and lets me spray his face and even shampu him! he hets onery when i try to comb out his tail and he holds out his foot threateningly. while at the same time i believe he would not kick me- i still move to the side of him. he usually decides it's ok when i break from the brushing to give him a neck scratch or a peppermint treat.
buddy boy is now sleeping in his sipping boots, too. he was sleep crashing and taking the skin off his ankles each night.. but with the support of the boots he doesn't seem to be doing it anymore and if he does at leat he's padded...
