1537.2 Kilometres… A long long way!
Wow, to think that I have ridden 1537.2 Kilometres is kind of INCREDIBLE! I know it is only a small part of the 4600k’s, but each day I only think about what I need to achieve that day. I try really hard not to dwell on how far I have ridden the previous day or how far I need to go the next. Living in the moment makes big task’s seem easy. But to look back to realise you have nearly ridden all the way to the Victorian boarder (I am 3 k’s away!) in just over a month is kinda of cool! The horses are just fantastic and Lofty is back on ‘light’ duties after his week and a bit off. I am learning to appreciate that I cannot compare or expect my horses to be something they are not. Meg is slow compared to Titan but she is the fastest toughest ‘Meg’ she can be. Titan isn’t as independent as Meg or Lofty but he is brave when I really rely on him. A good example of one of those moments when I saw our first emu! I was trotting along and I spotted the singular very inquisitive, very large lonesome Emu! I trotted across the other side of the road said a very quick prayer to my guardian angel. At that moment two trucks came around the corner, Toll Car Carriers, And saw the predicament I was in and sat on their air horns all the way past the emu made it jump the fence and the second truck did the same and manage to get the emu to take off across the flat! If I ever get the chance to meet those blokes I would buy them a carton! I was doing a risk assessment of how far titan could take off before it would damage my k’s for the day! But he has now dealt with many emus, wild goats, feral cats the size of Bobby. I am very very lucky to have him trust me so much!
Mum and Joe are doing a great job as my support team and I cannot thank them enough for dealing with Me! After I ride 80 odd k’s I can get a little grumpy!
Happy Trails. Xx
