Another nice day in January, got up early to complete my horse keeping chores with plans of riding with friends in our Park. We have not yet cut through from our place to the trail head, so they met us at our place, were introduced to the 'family' and we all trailered over to the Park.
Had a nice ride in the woods, the snow was not slippery, but K.C. got 'snow balls' in his front feet. He's a trooper, and didn't complain. He was pretty good, but is afraid of the little mare, Shine. She looked right at him and he spooked away from her! He also didn't like her behind him so we had to reshuffle the order.
We rode for a couple hours, until our hands and feet were too cold. We ate a quick lunch then headed out on foot to the corner of the Park that meets our property. We continued our work there, trimming branches and moving downed logs. We scouted ahead to see where our trajectory should go, in the best possible way to be sustainable and not cause erosion.
Our work is cut out for us. We'll need to bring a chain saw to remove the tree-fall and a weed-whacker to knock back the multi-flora rose, the scourge of this particular Park.
