went to the barn today for my routine (not unwelcome) visit while home
rode my horse, zip, and a horse who looks just like him, hershey, and spent a good two hours on both combined, including a trail ride i took with my sister, K. we took Hershey and Zip behind fox chase (the new location of MEA haven farm) and across the rolling green hills of virginia (not to sound cheesy in description but that is exactly what they are, and the scenery is beautiful!) and into the woods. i let zip take the reins at one point (oh haha, my punnery is both futile and awful this evening), and, letting the reins sit loose in my hands, had him choose his own path. zipper trail blazed for a good ten minutes before he ran us right up to a dead end at which point he promptly spun around and headed back the way he came.
...horses are remarkably intelligent in that way :) haha
in the rest our explorations, we ran up along the edge of a cow pasture and were about ten feet from a big black bovine just standing in the middle of a creek, as well as found a creepy tree with red berries amongst the middle of nothing but dead winter trees, which reminded K and i both of the movie the village...at which point we each urged our horses on just that much faster.
minus the creepy tree, the scenery was probably the best part...nature is absolutely wonderful, and the landscapes of middleburg and aldie, va make it just that much more so!
