Lame attempt at selfie

• Trail: Eagle Eye Rd. 2nd Windmill
• Miles: 7.68
• Riders: Self - Celia
• Horses: Jack - Dirt
• Dogs: Groot

Notes: I picked up Celia after chores and hauled out S. Eagle Eye. We opted not to go to N. Eagle eye because of the bug situation. We unloaded at the 2nd windmill...actually the only windmill out there now since they took the first one down. Other than being muggy due to the pending rain - it was a good day for a ride. I left Jack's boots at home and he made it the entire way barefoot. I've been trimming him in accordance with a barefoot trimmer I follow/subscribe too: David Landreville: On the Vertical. It's been an eye opener. I am learning a lot about proper hoof care for function and soundness. I can already see a difference in both him and Drifters' hooves. Celia made us fabulous chicken/apple salad on a lettuce wedge for lunch. It was to die for. I was starving.
