Visit to Mustang Journey

It has been awhile, bur arranged to visit Mustang Journey to see my friend Troy and see the current herd. Hot and humid, the horses were pretty lethargic, as was I. Currently, Mustang Journey has seven mustangs and one domestic horse used for their riding program.

This is Roxie. Her mustang brand identifies her from Nevada. She’s a Nevada girl.

Mustang Journey adopts mustangs, gentles them, prepares them for adoption out to owners who are ready to own a mustang and ready to ride. They do this all with the help of volunteers and Veterans who are interested in equine therapy. The draw of the mustangs has been intrumental in the programs growth. They are not just horses, they are mustangs!

Previously, I had some work with Charlotte. I was a part time volunteer a couple of years ago, and I was cleaning out her stall. She gave me a touch and then she pressed her muzzle against my cheek! I was in heaven. She was probablyi just getting a scratch against my beard. LOL!

It was great to visit Mustang Journey. I’ll be back.

See you on the highway.

Sunday afternoon motorcycle ride

Hot and humid. Of course, it’s time for a motorcycle ride.

The area around where I live is wonderful for riding. The Ohio River Valley has created these hills with curvy roads. There are plenty of backroads with no lines–no center lines, no edge lines. And they often cross these small streams that inspire one to stop and take a look.

Continuing on along the Little Miami River, I turned east at Corwin and passed the Miami Cemetery. Very park-like, the cemetery association was organized in 1867. I turned in to find a very large WWII Tank and a grave section devoted to the area’s soldiers.

I took a moment to peruse the graves from WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. It was very nicely done. I took one last moment to stand at attention and salute my brothers and sisters in arms. As an Army Vietnam Veteran myself, it seemed like the right thing to do.

The rest of the ride was towards home, just cruising along on my Moto Guzzi V7 Sport.

See you on the highway.
