Just Horsin' Around June Exercise Challenge

[PollyannaMom]

Just once, I would love to be walking in your neighborhood when you're out walking your cat!

She doesn't prance down the sidewalk or anything. We usually just loop the house a couple of times, treating the back yard like one of those old Family Circus cartoons:

That's why I don't get much "real" walking done when she comes with me. She'll chase a butterfly, then lie down for a minute, then wander around a little...

Congrats to lovesmurfs for reaching Trotting Orange and to piglet1979 for being the first to reach Gaiting Purple!!!

Maximus the horse stole hearts in Tangled without ever saying a word. He's the horse of the Captain of the Palace Guards of Corona at the start of the movie, but he ends up joining forces with Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, and Pascal by movie's end.

Images from The Art of Tangled

Maximus is the work of animators Glen Keane, Jin Kim, and Marc Smith. According to Jin Kim, they based Maximus on an Andalusian, a Spanish horse breed known for its beauty, intelligence, and loyal temperament.

If you haven't yet seen Tangled, you can meet Maximus here:

I love Tangled. It was a favorite of DD's until Frozen came out and then Frozen got the boot when Moana came out. I do miss watching Tangled with DD.

Yesterday I did pretty good despite the busy afternoon I had. I walked in the morning, during DD's appointment and during DS's baseball game. I got a total of 86 minutes. With how good things are going this month I think next month I will move up my time again.

Yesterday we walked around Central London on a "scavenger hunt" for 2 and a half hours. It was a little warm, but otherwise the weather was perfect and I got to ride the "tube" for the first time.

This morning we went to try to meet people in the shopping center near where we staying. We were able to have a very good conversation with a woman from Afghanistan in the Starbucks! We walked around for about a half an hour before that though. Then my husband and I went out this afternoon to explore, so I'll count a half an hour of walking from that.

Altogether adding 210 minutes.

Elizabeth Smith has reached Gaiting Purple! Super job!

Bonus points if anyone can guess who this horse is!

Spoiler: What horse am I?

It's Abu from Aladdin! For a brief moment during the movie, Abu is turned into a horse. Otherwise, he's Aladdin's mischievous monkey sidekick. In horse form, Abu's mane and tail are so luxurious, they remind me of a Gypsy Vanner, though I've never seen one with such curls.

Just saw a report that two new Grevy's zebra foals are out in Animal Kingdom.

I saw that, too! I meant to post a link yesterday but got sidetracked and never found my way over here. Here it is now, though:

The foals are gorgeous! I hope DD and I get to see them when we visit in December.
