Saddling up after evening milking, my gelding and I headed out to the high hayfield across the road. The view up on the highest hill is just breathtaking when the sun is setting. The dogs get so excited when they see me with a horse on cross ties, saddling up. They are very good about staying on the farm each day, but when they see the horse being readied for a ride, they get so excited that they just about wiggle right out of their skin. When we head down the driveway to mount up, they're in and out, all around the horse's feet, anxiously awaiting for me to turn out onto the road.
So across the road and through the cornfield we went, up to the hills to take in the final blast of sunshine acrosst the treetops before finally setting for the night. After a brisk canter across the adjoining field, we took the corn rows home, crossed the road and said good night to another day.
