Reliving old memories

My husband, Vince, and I used to take photos at horse endurance rides. We gave it up two years ago but tomorrow there is a ride being held only about an hour from here. Luckily, Vince has his big camera so will be able to take some photos. We’re taking the motor-home so won’t be able to go out on the tracks but he can still get photos of horses coming and going into the base camp. So I might be here for a while in the morning but then we might be away two nights with no internet. The photo is from a previous ride.

I really like that shot, it's especially nice due to the reflection in the water. I hope you'll get some amazing shots on this outing as well.

I didn't have my big camera so I only took a few in the vet ring but Vince got some good ones.

Enjoy your days away and it sounds like fun to see the horses coming and going again. I can't believe it's already been 2 years since you haven't done the endurance rides. Time flies for sure.

@JudyEv Vince looks really good now (referring to your recent picture at your house-sit) Last year was a hard one for you with his surgeries and recoveries.

Last year was basically a non-year what with Vince's two operations and recovery periods.

Last year was pretty much a write-off with Vince having his two operations, recuperation, etc.

We might just do the odd ride from time to time without getting so serious about it. The thing is - the website, etc all costs.

We enjoyed taking photos again. I don't think it will become a regular thing again but maybe we'll go to some of the rides.
