When Parker was here at Christmas, we explored a road that we'd been told was a suitable place to run. After 4 months of running on a treadmill, I was really happy to find that it is a quiet road frequented by both walkers and runners, and I've been running there several times a week since. My only complaint is that the road is VERY hilly, and, from my starting point, it goes uphill in both directions - literally!
Occasionally, I'd notice something that I thought was horse manure along the side of the road, and I'd also seen hoof prints in the sand in the same area. I know there are wild donkeys on St. John, but I haven't heard of any on St. Thomas, plus the prints looked like they were of shoed hooves.
On Monday of this week, I saw a couple of men with a pick-up truck and horse trailer there, then I saw another man walking a horse up the road. There was also a second horse in the trailer. When I came back by, the second horse was out, and the men were rubbing it down with towels, so I assumed that, for whatever reason, they bath the horses there.
When I saw them again on Thursday, I just had to ask. Turns out that the horses are race horses from the local race track. And they hadn't been bathing them, they'd been taking them for a swim!
I guess even horses need to do non-impact cross-training!
mooooom they bathe the horses, not bath them! hehe
ReplyDeleteThank you for the grammar lesson, dear - but actually they take them swimming :)
