So far Steen’s adjustment to the new place seems to be going pretty well. It helps that he’s had a few visitors in the form of a friend of mine who brought her two daughters as well as some sliced apples, and Brian’s sister and her husband, who were handing out the carrots and forming a brushing team he seemed to highly approve of. I’ve been out there a number of time, but I haven’t ridden. Between all the visitors and other stuff going on with life, I just haven’t had the chance . However, Steen’s groundwork has been impeccable lately, and a couple of days ago Cathi told me about a dirt-road loop I can take from the new property. I’m pretty sure just as soon as I have a chance to go find it, I’ll have a nice ride.
The bummer is I’m leaving tomorrow and won’t be back until next Thursday. *sigh. Such setbacks. The good news, however, is that the new barn is scheduled to be up by early August. And after that things should seem much more normal.
