Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013 - Another Rain Day

Rained overnight again, a lot, and through part of the morning before it started to clear out and start getting cooler. We put the horses out on their anchors for a little while, and spent most of the day inside with the fireplace on. Put their winter blankets on at suppertime, as the forecast was down to 33 degrees for the overnight hours! Fortunately, the clear skies, dry air and wind should all help dry the trails out for tomorrow. We learned from other campers that the trails here are quite rocky, so boots will be a must! Looking forward to our first ride here tomorrow. We had heard that there was a gray missing mare lost in the woods, and was asked to keep our eye out for her, apparently someone was ponying her during a training exercise, she got spooked and took off. My heart wrenches at the thought of someone losing a horse that way (especially when it was someone else's fault), but judging by how busy this camp is, and thus the woods likely are, I can't imagine she won't be found eventually.
