Today we met Lexi and Oliver out at Ashland for some fitness. Hee hee. Oliver and Dan are both so alike. It was like the saw each other and recognized greatness and were like "dude.... duuuuuddeee....ddddddduuuuuude". And then they were friends. ;) Hee hee. We did a nice long hack through pretty much all of Ashland... aiming for the hills. And for most of the way, Dan let Oliver lead. I'm not sure why... because again, maybe he recognized greatness and conceded that Oliver was worthy?? Or maybe he was a little tired and Oliver walks fast enough that Dan wasn't frustrated? I don't know. He had a few tiny antics but that was it. And occasionally he got in front, but for the most part, he was content to let Oliver lead. It's good for him! After about 1.5 hrs of walking we ended up in the cross country field and did some trot sets. We did a 10 min trot and then a 2 min walk break and then a 5 min trot. Dan and Oliver were well matched, but Dan definitely trots faster. They were both snorty, which was funny. And Dan was not tired at all afterwards, which was nice to realize. He even had a few shenanigans after the fact. It would have been fun to have a canter/gallop together but Oliver had a shoe that was close to becoming a problem, so we opted to just quit with that. It was a good day!
