Still at that Oak tree—that is after a ride. We kept Nancy on Catalina. We’re trying to make her realize that “No Strings” is getting old & one day she’ll have to go to another horse. She wasn’t happy. Catalina is a much smaller horse which means a choppy trot. I’ll have to find her a long bodied bigger horse.

We really worked on that oak—it is the biggest most difficult tree we’ve ever taken down. Left a tall stump & a large trunk for tomorrow.
