Sweat

When riding a horse sweat is a wonderful thing. It somehow seems to be connected to their brains. The more they sweat, the more they seem to start using their brains.

The weather here has been so miserable the horses are sweating without a rider and for some reason this type of sweat doesn’t seem to engage their brains – if anything, it seems to make them use their brains less.

I took these around 9:00 last night. Cat was just miserable.

The heat doesn’t seem to be affecting the flies at all.  I couldn't get a shot of her where she wasn't stomping flies.

Our heat index today is supposed to reach 116*. I think I’ll pass on riding for now.

On a side note – since it was too hot to ride I went to see the documentary Buck with a few friends.  If you haven’t seen it I recommend going.

That looks miserable. Our flies seem to like the heat. They multiply at an alarming rate. Hope some cool(er) weather is on the way.
