He was there, he just had a loose shoe. He got rode on Saturday afternoon after they set up camp.
Well, a loose shoe wouldn't have stayed on in that mud. Good call. :~D
We had a nice ride Saturday, rode about 2 hours. Blade did great for not being ridden since November. It was fun to ride Jake, he is such a good old horse. On the afternoon ride Frog and I went on we stopped at a creek crossing and Grace was drinking, Jake decided he was not thirsty so he just stood there. When Grace was done we decided to head on, I said to Jake "OK Jake lets go" he then put his head down like he was going to drink. We thought it was funny but maybe just a coincidence so I tested it 2 or 3 more times. Each time I said "OK Jake lets go" his head went down to the water, he never took a drink but wanted us to think he was so we would not go on.
