The header image captures Chase on a horse trail. He’s pausing until my horse catches up.
I went again to a horse trail with Chase, and the horse and dog still got along well. We were traveling in an area of mostly desert but with a large active canal running through a portion of it. On that hot day, Chase had opportunities to take dips, often plunging into the water and staying relatively cool while tracking with my horse.
I’m returning to work today and have another odd schedule, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., helping to close the store. I have fed the horses this morning and hope to get away for an early horseback ride.
I wish to ride with two dependable trail dogs, and this time will take Mitzvah and Chase.
Maybe Mitzvah will run with my horse and Chase. On a trail, perhaps her small stature is a bit of a gamble; however, she’s smart and also partly a Jack Russel. She loves to run. Maybe she’ll be just fine. If she resists trail challenges, she must wait in the horse trailer while I ride and Chase tracks.
Dear Friends: Miles wants to go, but running will give him arthritic pain. Diana
