Trail Riding

At Eleanor's suggestion, T and I loaded the horses up and headed the 2 miles down the road to Green Lane Park. We frequently rode the Orange Trail last year which is a great 2 mile loop that is narrow hilly trails in the woods. This was our first ride on the Orange Trail this year. We took it easy and no pics during the ride as I wasn't quite sure how Montero would be. Both horses were great - easy going and sure footed. I forgot how nice it is to ride a horse with a really good neck rein. Jet was his usual steady self. Montero seemed to have a good time and was really careful about where he put his feet. He is certainly feeling better and had quite a bit of pep in his step. We even did a really nice canter in a meadow up the hill. We flushed a herd of deer out and both horses didn't even blink at them. It was great!

Craig took these as we came off the little bit of the Perkiomen Trail that we rode and headed into the parking lot. Both horses were tired and were ready to get back in the trailer.



Loaded up and ready to head home

Aw, what a wonderful activity to do! The horses look tired but happy!

I'm really curious about your endurance saddle now. How does it work? I really don't think I've seen one up close yet. Do you train in endurance?

Lots of greetings from West Africa!
