I acquired the mail at approximately 7am at Fort Churchill and took off at a quick pace. My mare, having seen her stablemate leave in a trailer, had no issue helping make up time and happily galloped away. We alternated fast trots and medium lopes and made our 5 miles in 30 minutes. Handed the mochila to my roommate who continued the pace for another 5 miles before her handoff. What a fun ride! Beautiful landscapes and fast horses, will definitely see you all next year!
