Today’s lesson was not a real lesson but rather our once-per-semester little trek. I wouldn’t mind getting a chance to ride out more often when its on a horse I trust as much as Murphy, though I do prefer my once a week riding lesson to be more “meaty”. However, Murphy enjoyed it (and was a pest who tried to bring whole trees along to chew on ;P), and it was a nice, leisurely little ride. No galloping, alas, but the weather was pleasant and the birds were singing.
