We had to overdo a little, these chances are pretty rare and we have to do it while we can, until we can get a truck and trailer, and another horse, and... !
Oh, I don't blame you for doing it. Before you left and said you were going to do 8 miles, my first thought is, they're going to alot of trouble for 8 miles:). When I was riding yesterday, I thought, I'll bet they get back and will think that went soooooooo fast. I realize you were at the mercy of your friend.
I'm glad you got to make a day of it. Is Bay still doing good today? any lameness? If not, then I would say he is good to go do anything. If he can do that you've got his problem under control.
