2.14 miles with Billy and total time 57 minutes. On the way, Pepper roused up a mouse on the side of the road. Pepper is a RAT terrier. She pounced at the mouse and it stood up on its hind legs and challenged her. She made a mock dive and it jumped up and slapped her on the nose! For almost a minute Pepper mock pounced and the mouse jumped up and slapped her. It finally got away in the wheat stubble. So much for the mighty hunter! I didn't have a chance to get my phone out as Billy does not stand still very well, but it was hilarious.
Never a dull moment on a rural drive!

Holy cow... what a busy week it was! We made it through Westerner Days.
Phillippe drove: 4.5 hours total.
Jasmine drove: 3.5 hours total.
And they're getting some much-deserved time off now!

What are Westerner Days? Sounds like fun.
About 1.5 miles with Rowan on Sunday - VERY fast due to clouds of deer flies. Tried the deer fly patches but my patch only caught about 10 flies out of at least a couple hundred swarming around us at any given time, and Rowan's patch mostly caught his own hair. 
Best approach seems to be heavily spraying picaridin on the places they like to bite the best, and wearing a hat. They were around us the entire time but I don't think either of us got bitten too much.

It's a big summer fair on our province's third-largest city. I wrote about it in the Driving Discussion thread.
Took Phillippe and Falcor out for a beautiful walk around our hay field today for 45 minutes. Was so nice!
My mom wanted to drive with me, so she took out Phillippe while I drove Falcor. It was nice to be able to drive the two together and just relax.

30 in hand walking minutes for Cappy and 1.5 ground driving hours for Peanut.
You and Peanut got a workout!
Oh that was a few sessions totaled up, if I ever walked that all at once my feet would be screaming!
Falcor went out with me last night. Another walk around the hay field, this time alone. 45 minutes and it was really nice!
15 minutes ground driving Peanut and 15 walking Cappy. It was hotter than a two dollar pistol out there this morning! I let Oatie out and he takes a sunbath

Saturday I took out Phillippe for a trip around the hay field while ponying his new friend Ricco. We were out for 45 minutes. Jasmine went out with her spare kid for an hour as well! Handy to have extra kids around to drive when I'm down one.
Sunday I drove Jasmine and Ali took out Falcor for an hour.
Monday I drove Phillippe and brought Ricco along again, out for an hour.

I'm glad the weather is good for driving where you are. It's too hot here, except for very early in the morning. Have to be home by 9 a.m.
I hope Billy will be able to go for a short drive soon. He is galloping now when turned out for a few minutes.
Oh! I'm glad to hear Billy is improving! And yes, exercise will help with weight management.
