Moonshine'd

We completed our second LD! Fantastic trail in the moonlight. Dixie was strong and full of go the whole time, except when we headed up into the hills *away from home ohno!* The other LD turtles had to "pull" us along for a while.

Ride time about 4:30, total time 5:30. HR at the final vet check was 48. She didn't drink til mile 15, but started drinking and eating nonstop after that.

The four people I was loosely riding with were nice. One BIG Champagne Gold TWH, a foxtrotter mule, and two Arabs. Dixie and the Arab mare hated each other at first sight. :(

A couple things went wrong on the human side, but the horse side went perfectly. More later.

YAY DIXIE!

    Isn't it funny how some horses just hit it off wrong from the start? Anxious to hear about the ride.

    It sounds like it was a good ride. My husband really wanted to try this one but we were on our way to Oregon to get the G kids... hopefully next year
