Another horse Day!
Well I know this didn't take long, but I had to correct my former entry! That was NOT fast. Today I took rode two warmbloods, the latter of which was a 17.2hh 4 year old mare. Mortin brought another pulling a surry, and said that this time to bring my horse up beside his and run like it was a race. It WAS SO COOL!!!!! My horse, Idella, completely flattened out and just bolted at a trot so fast I couldn't even reckognize the gait. There is a speed gauge on Mortin's cart, and we ran 1 kilometer at 51 kilometers an hour, which is 31.7 mph!!!!!!! It is so much fun and like nothing I have ever done before, because it isn't just flat, it is cross country and cold and you really have to be strong with your arms to stay in control. well, Dinner time!

Only you, Sarah, could knock on a door in a foreign country and have soeone ask if you wanted to ride! I can't believe that there is a place in the world so innocent that you can just talk to people you meet on the street... or that these people would trust that you could ride well enough to put you on a horse that was going to go so fast! There are so many levels of courage, guts, innocence and foolheartyness revealed in your story! I'm just sitting here shaking my head back and forth. Unreal!
God bless you,
Catherine Morton
