Watching the racehorses train

Hayes and I had too much fun yesterday. I've been promising her for more than a year that I would take her to see the young racehorses train where I used to live in South Carolina. Yesterday was nice enough that we could do that so we got up early (for us) and headed to the training track.

Driving through, I wondered if I'd recognize anybody from the old days and sure enough there was my old aquaintance Bob and his horses were just going out. We met up at the rail and talked about what we'd been doing in the 14 years since I'd left that town. I told him Hayes wants to be a jockey and he told her she has a job with him anytime. Well, that just made her day and it was all she talked about for the rest of the day. She even said she needed to get prepared to go back this week and ride horses.

Bob invited us to lunch later in the week and I don't know if it'll be feasible to go with Cort in tow since he likes to squall at inopportune times, like restaurants!

I took Hayes over to the steeplechase track too, but no one was going over jumps so we drove back through the training center then came home.
