Sierra, naturally, got a bit bored during all the walking on her very well behaved horse "Bert" so decided to take a nap. Good thing he was so well behaved (though he got a big grumpy half way through, we're sure due to hunger, and was very rude (swung his butt around to threaten a kick...or actually did kick) to any horse that got to close...except mine :)
So...you can see here Sierra is beginning to wane. She was cold (her feet had been cold since before mounting) and wet and hungry. Shortly after this picture I forced her to eat chocolate i had brought along. She is one of those people who needs to eat regularly or she can get pretty scary. She did recover though and then I encouraged her to trot around more especially when the group would stop, so that it'd warm her up. It worked.
It was nice that the ride was relaxed and you didn't have to stay in perfect formation but could get out and in fields ride abreast of one another.
And then lunch finally arrived.
