I grew up in a very rural environment and worked on a dairy farm during high school. I love farms, barns and animals in pastures and wild flowers along the road. It is my favorite kind of riding.
A few years ago I was on a club ride that, for a short distance, paralleled a pasture with a horse. The horse got excited by the movement of bikes and began galloping with the bikes. I enjoyed that and, evidently, so did the horse.
