Babysitters

Day 185
Hernando FL

"Excuse me.. would you be able to help me out. I'm kind of in a pinch. A friend wasn't able to make it and I have an extra horse. Could you watch it for me for an hour?" That was the statement made to us by a stranger around 11 o'clock in the morning. I like horses. This will be fun.

Having Henry around was a break back into things being a bit weird. The last couple months have been way too normal. The three campsites at this equestrian trail head are all horse friendly. Each one has it's own stall and we were the only folks who were home. The nice lady who asked us to be godparents for an hour handed over a pocket full of apple treats and left us with a 23 year old paint.

Henry gets picked up just after lunch and we head out for a hike down the trail. It's mostly sand and has been beaten to death by half ton horses. Regardless of the terrain we march on for a mile and a half before turning around and heading home. 

Life experiences come in all shapes and packages. Today's was four legs attached to an animal with personality. Weird day? Yep, but hey... life could be worse.
