I would say we had an uneventful ride (no equipment failure or mishaps) but KC shook down a hiker for his 'Smarties™' and we saw two young deer with unusual markings. At first I thought they were goats, one being mostly white with brown spots and the other was roan. Then KC lost a shoe close to the end of the ride.
We had just left the Woodstock Inn, traveling at a good pace, but slowed for the rocks that are like a tombstone and a shark fin, dead center in the trail. Anyone that rides these trails know the exact spot. There were a couple of hikers, one had a cane, the other a big camera around her neck. They both left the trail, opposite sides of the trail, to let us pass.
As we walked past them, saying our how-do-you-do's KC turns right into the man standing on the left. He had a cane. KC is known to be a 'people-person' and loves to stop. He might just like to stop.
The man says he has candy in his pants. KC is all ears, straight-up and forward. He pulls out the package of Smarties™ and crinkles the wrapper. O boy.
KC is very gentle, and eats most all of the Smarties™. The man calls the woman over, saying she would love to pet the horse. She has a camera but never used it. KC is a shameless pan-handler.
Closer to the League we saw the deer that looked like goats, with their momma. Strange colorations on those two. When we got back to the trailer, while picking his feet, I noticed he now is missing a shoe. We have a ride tomorrow, at 10:00 a.m., Sara the Farrier is due out November 2. O boy.
