Shipo re Avon township: It was so beautiful if a bit impoverished back then...ourt Farm was in Mt Clemens...had multiple barns managed by different trainors and a swim barn for horses that needed to swim (indoor pool for horses, how cool is that) some horses were blanketed, usually those in rigorous training but most were au naturale...they do better as God made them.
The knees still sore but I did another 1 1/2 walk/jog this AM and felt great. They stiffen up when I sit too long. Headed back to the trails this weekend with the kid...wish me luck.
