He’s iron tough. Sort of. At other times he’s a big softy. And he hates walking on gravel. Still, the minute I learned his name was Bear, this song popped into my head. We couldn’t have written a better song for him.
Today’s ride didn’t really look like any of the above rides. After all our long rides, the Bear was tired. And sluggish. Still, I wanted to get him out for some really easy walking around. And I think his back felt better after the ride than it did before the ride.
We went back to the middle pasture and mostly just walked around. Robin rode Steen a little bit harder, but we kept it very easy. After a good long warmup we moved into a nice easy trot for a few minutes. Then we walked a little more and called it a day. After some days off I’m hoping he’ll be ready to go again.
