[RC] Summer Solstice Ride Last Night - PAMELA LANIER

I had the absolute best ride on my grey Arab last night.  One of those rides
where everything is just right!  Started out at 8:00 pm with 4 other
riders.  Moon came up about 9:45 and it was beautiful!  Temperature was
around 70 degrees, no mosquitoes, whipporwills calling, and good riding
partners.  Don't get much better than that.

I am planning on doing JD's moonlight ride in July so this was my test
ride in the dark-I should say my longest one as I have been out maybe
about 30 minutes or so before a few times as I would be coming in from the
trails around the house.

As we were headed back to the barn we had to go through a really dark
trail and down thru a ditch that he really hates to negotiate in the
daylight.  I couldn't see anything.  I just kept talking and singing a my
favorite Johnny Cash song to him.  He was a real trooper...never missed a
step.
We ended up doing a total of 15.5 miles and got back to the barn at 12:00.
Loaded my boy in the trailer and was in my bed at 1:00.
It just don't get much better than this.
Am looking forward to the Moonlite ride in SC.

Pam and Pharaoh
