Darn it anyway.

I have worn wool socks most of my life. Growing up knit by mother and grandmother and darned when worn at the heel or toe.

Wasn't 100% sure what it would be like, as she has not been ridden in the last year, and came from somewhere else when she was, but I had to try. She is really quiet, I ...
