Got in over .5 this morning (not sure how much over I've only driven/measured the .5)
The last few days we just walked/trotted around the property...so maybe .25 a day?
Monday I had to stay close to the office so I just worked him in the round pen...not sure what that would add up to, but got quite a bit of trotting in so I figure it had to be at least as much as a .5 walk/trot (mostly walking).
Last week was about the same except for one day that was supposed to be a .5 walk, but I cut it short because for some reason he wasn't behaving very well (balking a lot) and it was hot and muggy because the sun decided to come out just as we started walking

Mint and I 1.3 miles
Hubby walked with us today. He has had back problems for a long time. He had back surgery 1 1/2 ago. Surgery seems to have worked. Dr. said walking is the best exercise. So he walked with us today.

10/10 .6
10/11 a bit over .6
10/12 .5
10/13 a bit over .6 (same distance as Tues.)
10/14 worked in the round pen...a good trot, a bit of cantering (his idea, I don't like him to canter in the round pen too much), then a 10 min. walk on level ground).

“Out” on grandparent duty in the Twin Cities area so have missed time with the ponies, but enjoyed the grandkids and reading your posts via phone. Everyone is doing a lot of horsing around!

October 18: Tinker and DD 3/4 mile.
Hubby walked Tinker which they all enjoy because he feeds them little Milk Bones as treats. So it was actually a 6 Milk Bone walk.

Is Tinker a dog or a mini??October 18: Tinker and DD 3/4 mile.

Tinker(below) is a mini horse and he does enjoy the occasional small Milk Bone dog biscuit. They are actually for our two dogs but one day Tinker wanted in on the treats when Lou stopped to reward the dogs and that is how that started.
It is a very occasional treat but he always seems to love it.

Thanks HersheyMint! 
He’s a 16 year old 30” mini and like all minis is a ton of fun!
