And the sea wind

After a bit less than 300 km, we reached the goal of the raid: to show Stringa in her traveler clothes to her former owner. After a wonderful evening, we find the time the next morning to hitch up Stringa for the first time in one and a half year. Fortunately, the little red mule remembers all the codes and especially the voice of her trainer. After this small tour, we set off. To the sea ! Summer time, every one to the beach !
we find Bénédicte, of the association of the Highland pony, who will accomodate us for two days, enough to rest a bit and go see the sea at Veulettes-sur-mer. The sea is a first for the black mare and the red mule. Salt, waves and spray bring thousand of surprises. With Alix, we let ourselves being carried away by a vacationers carefreeness.

Now, we are sure to be back in time and this little raid has definitively transformed into "the merry ride", where every bush is filled with berries, where every evening is spent on good grass and where the red mule has always a good joke to tell.

But time has already come to take the road back, it will take us through the Lyons Forest, the Southern Oise, the Vexin and the Seine river to eventually return to the Chevreuse Valley.
