Molly was excellent today - went out for a ride round the fields with Gaynor on CHarlie, just walk, but it was all new to Molly bar the track to the road, and the way over the bridge. She barely put half a foot wrong - the most difficult bit was getting on, as usual, had to get gaynor's partner to come hold her - and gaynor had only done that particular route twice before! so we were both very pleased. had one moment of dancing when we turned off the road after the bridge going into the field, a another very slight think about setting at the far end - you come up with the river on your left, the field narrows, clear fenceline coming up and a yellow no entry sign ...she expected soemthing! but iwas very half hearted.
Oh, and she'd led the way along the track and over the bridge! on the way back charlie led and i followed, as gaynor had forgot her hi viz, and then wene we turned back into our lane met three coming the other way, byt all behaved well
before that, i'd hoovered up a lawn full of leaves (maple and apple), mowed said lawn, and two lots of washing on the line... another lot in th washer - and when i came back it was still light and mowed the other lawn! forecast to rain tomorrow, so glad i got all that done...
and it was a lovely day! shirtsleeve order, no need for a jacket at all and after our ride we turned them out again for a while as it was still sunny and warm...

What a great day - I love getting lots done! And Molly was so good!
We had a three year old stallion at our stable die of grass sickness early this summer. I had never heard of it before. It looks like an awful way to go.
You wore me out with the lawn hoovering...let along the mowing. Then again, perhaps my perception of lawn is bigger than yours???
Good for Molly! Seems the long lining is helping her gain some courage out on those hacks.
