Munchkin and I got out hunting today with FHC. With the cold and rain we've had footing was pretty dicey. Anything from ice to frozen solid to greasy in the sun. Luckily, when I was getting Munchkin ready and was putting his studs in I pulled out 8 brand new studs. I figure every little bit helps.
The scenting conditions were pretty poor. I would call the conditions dry because all the moisture was locked in the frozen ground. Things were compounded by a quick rise in temperature. It went from 38 or so at the start to almost 60 at the end.
If nothing else it was good to get out. We had a pretty big group out. I think everyone, horses and riders, were glad to be out. For the day we covered 5.51 miles. The interesting thing was that out of the 94 minutes we were out we were moving for 87 of them. So that was long slow workout for the horses.
