We took a short ride today, only five miles, since we were working on speed today. We trotted for a few minutes as a warm-up, then hand-galloped for several minutes. The ride lasted about and hour and forty-five minutes (the first and last two miles of the path is always asphalt... we NEVER go faster than a walk on asphalt, hence the slow times).
The boys felt good, and afterward we gave them baths and their vitamins and a carrot piece for a treat.

Seventh ride
July 3 2009
The boys were more mellow today, and we went about 7 miles. The boys trotted most of 3 miles, and Courtney and I jogged for about 1.5 miles. We both wore tennis shoes and jogging shorts and did fine, just had a problem with chafing... will wear longer pants next time.

Sixth Ride
July 2 2009
After a week off, the boys were raring to go. We had to hold them back at a smooth trot, and they startled at everything. Total of 6.5 miles, and Courtney and I jogged for about a mile of it. It rained a little. The footing was dirt track for about two miles of it, but the rest was asphalt, on which we only walked.
