Another day in Southern Pines NC

Breakfast was sautéed bell pepper and sausage with plenty of Cholula hot sauce. This concoction really wakes you up. Next the horses were feed as usual and the pasture cleaned up followed by a return to the condo. I took off for my riding lesson that included a few passes over the jump swith some trouble picking up the correct lead at the canter after the jump. Sometimes Willy will do a flying lead change and sometimes he will not. After a quick run back to the condo and a shower I headed off to the Southern Pines Rotary meeting where I learned about the finances of Pinehurst NC from a town official. Did you know that Pinehurst has only been incorporated for 25 years while Southern Pines has been a town for over 100 years. Back at the condo Wendy took off to go riding but without companions as Gail was training her new horse and Pat was busy with other endeavors. On the driving range 140 balls zoomed out into the distance. Some were well hit but there is much room for improvement. After walking the dog another bike ride was enjoyed until it started to sprinkle and I returned to the condo. After my third shower of the day we are to head out for cocktails at a friends “Hunt Box” (a rather elegant home over a stable).
