Leisure Lane!

It was a glorious fall day. There was a but of nip in the air. The leaves had changed from their casual green into their majestic red, orange, and yellow. Reno was in good spirits too. I decide today would be a great day to get a quainted with my new friend. As soon as I saw him in that sale barn I knew he was the one for me. His ears pricked up as he heard my silent cooing of greeting. I gave him a thorough grooming and tacked him up. I let him sniff the tack. He approved of it all! I checked everything to make sure it fit properly and then headed off. I decided to take a nice long trail through the apple orchard on the newly bought land. We just walked along, enjoying the sun in our eyes and the wind that stung our noses. The trail got wider and less rocky so I signaled to a jog. He took to it fine. He had such a nice, smooth trot. It was like floating on clouds. I was awakened from this thought when Reno slid back into a walk. I urged him on and eventually into a lope. It was a fine day and Reno started to get sweaty. I took the narrow path back to DRR that led to the barn enterance. I hopped down, untacked him, patted his sweaty neck and fed him a treat. I put his tack on the racks outside his stall and slipped the halter over his nose. Then I clipped his royal blue line to the blue halter. I led him out into a pasture where the sun and darkened the patch of grass beneath it into a golden brown. I made sure there was hay and water available and left him alone. He had done great!
