Notes: Went for a quick ride in the evening after it cooled off a bit. It's been pretty hot the last week. I went on the roads which I usually regret. There aren't any llama's out here yet...but there is every other scary thing to give your horse a heart attack. Drifter apparently has never seen a pony. He jumped out of his skin when the neighbors came trotting up between the roping steers. So far, Drifters go-to when he spooks is to just skitter sideways at a rapid pace. I can handle that...hoping that doesn't change to breaking in two. He's fairly athletic.
On the way back, Jack spotted a big rattler crossing the road at the head of our driveway. He was all fours off the ground heading the other direction before I knew what was happening. I'm not sure... we may have vaulted over the top of Drifter....who didn't seem phased with the snake as long as Uncle Jack was between it and him. We waiting for it to slither off the road before we could continue on. I don't think Jack's feet touched the ground the last 300 yards to home.
