What a day. Suffice it to say, for now, I was in the saddle a solid 3 1/2 hours. In that time Ruth and I rode around Bennington Lake ONE time. Matt was along and got a ton of footage of us. We crossed water...about eight times. The horses were good sports and took advantage of their break times by grazing while Matt hiked and set up the next shot. It was a gorgeous day, but I should have worn a coat. I found myself shivering at times and once even came close to teeth chattering. Sinwaan did well loading into Ruth's 2-horse straight-load so that mystery has been solved. I hope to write more later, and perhaps even the video by weeks end.
