Summer is here at last. The long, warm (though some call mid 80 degree temps hot..) and clear days of western Washington summers have arrived and Deuce and I have been spending all of our riding time outdoors (as opposed to the indoor arena). PRF is situated on the edge of farm fields and we are fortunate enough to have permission to ride not only the Christmas tree farm but also the huge hay fields after July harvest. The hay field makes a fantastic conditioning field with tons of space to gallop and long gentle hills to work those back muscles going up and down. The roar of the interstate traffic across the field and the occasional movement from the golf course give lots of oppertunity for distraction but provides excellent practice for keeping focus and rhythm with out side stimulants.
Deuce and I had a particularly lovely hack out in the fields this evening....
