Long Ride

I take Gally for a long ride in the state forest. We make it as far as the second plantation, and I start investigating a side track. The track is gorgous, weaving gently through the forest. I run out of time to investigate fully, and turn for home, with every intention to come back soon.

Along the way we enjoy loose rein walks and trots. Gally's stride is relaxed, and somewhat resigned. Like a young child who has just resigned themselves to wandering these tracks for ever. So he is somewhat taken aback when finally we see our home. He trots purposefully up the hill.
