Keep Moving - Week 3

Spidey was on step duty on Sunday, a baltic but pleasant hack out with Molly.  It was not any warmer on Monday but I did six miles looking at ponds for work.  On Tuesday the boys went up to the arena for Cactus to get a new saddle fitted, his current saddle was fitted with a different gullet to act as a stop gap and a new saddle ordered.  Spider supervised, standing in the sun looking particularly happy and fluffy and being regularly snacked - his best arena hire ever!  Wednesday I went to the office, for the first time in nearly four years, we all had a pleasant stroll around the pond at lunchtime (didn't calorie offset the tray bake on offer though!)  Thursday I did four miles walking up through Woodhall woods and then Spider was back on duty on Saturday.  We just went along the railway line but still spotted several deer and a fox, it definitely felt like the calm before the incoming storm.  Cactus was volunteering himself to be ridden instead and I am very aware that this years "Keep Moving" will be much more riding based than walking with two to keep in work and the challenges that will bring.
