Wow. It sounds like you have some amazing trails to ride on and great scenery to enjoy with your horse. 🙂

I’ve seen horses that were hardly ridden and when they were, it was a hassle for the owner/rider to get those horses to leave the barn. But I have always been able to get my horses to leave with me and enjoy the rides at a slow pace and enjoy our surroundings.

If my horse seemed interested in stopping, I’d sit for a while and always picked ways to go back that were interesting with streams to drink from, or just sit on the canyon viewing the river. Sometimes I would take the saddle off and let the horse I was riding graze.

Here again, the hotter weather is here and the area is so dry that I worry about forest fires. I never listen to music while riding so I can focus on what might catch my horse’s or my attention. I’ve had my share of rattlesnakes, a red fox caught in an illegal trap (it was rescued and released healthy), and other distractions. My horse seemed to enjoy new places to trail and other horses to trail with. Thank you again for your stories.
