Many's the time I wished I had my horse with me.  Especially on those
long uphills.  My dressage horse is an adept trail horse too.  :)
Here's a picture of His Handsomeness:

He's elderly now, so our "dressage" consists of a quick
bareback ride a few times a year.

I'm manager of a coop.  We all take turns feeding,usually three times a
week.  There are enough of us that if one of us needs a month off for
some reason, it's not a big strain on the others.  So I'll go full
board for one month, ask a friend to keep an eye on the ponies, and
skedaddle knowing they'll be okay.  It's a good deal.

My ex is going to stay at my house while I'm gone, taking care of the
other four-legs and mailing me supplies as needed.
