Boy, those pictures of the Carson Trail sure look desolate. I just can't imagine the dread they must've felt when looking out over that vast expanse of salt and alkali flats. And to think of the fates of the poor horses and oxen that had to take them across it is just more than I can stand to think about. {shutter}

Well, I'm depressed....I just came in from brushing my horse, (and BTW was that a job, he had dirt caked on him from head to tail), but he has lost so much conditioning. That nice round tight butt is just so loose now...He just really looks bad, and altho his weight is good, it looks like he's lost some, which he needed too, but it could be he just looks narrower in his back because he has lost so much muscle tone...I don't know..

Don't ask for a picture:), I don't even want to take one..LOL.

Celia is coming around 1 and we are going to ride a couple of hours today, and she is taking vacation all next week, so hopefully by the end of next week we will be back in a good routine that I will be inspired to keep up with on my own...
