The very best unexpected pleasure on a ride was when I came across a herd? of deer. They were all does and fawns and were out in a meadow. The does were playing with each other and with the fawns, running and chasing, much like dogs might do when play fighting. They kept this up for a few minutes, and I wish I had a video camera, as I have seen a lot of deer, but never anything like this before.
Aha! Along came Mr. Buck in all his majesty. He had been watching from the edge of the meadow, and when his presence became manifest, ALL playing stopped and it was business as usual.
It is things like this that add joy and spice to my riding!
