first trail ride

Friesiangirl · 06-19-2006, 09:06 PM

Stormy had his first trail ride today, he did awesome, and i think me and my friend will go out every monday for a trail now. No galloping as i am taking that slowly with him, his emotions get the better of him at that gait. But all variations of troting happened, we did walk on some gravel and his tootsies are a bit sore, but not lameness causing sore, just when you push on the side of the frog, he gets a bit upset. But he is getting tomarrow off anyways. He just chipped some hoove off near the frog. But, anyways, he did well, we trotted a whole lot and i plan to get him in real good shape by trotting in the orchards. The trees are high enough not to run into and it's a perfect grid. The land owner says we can ride on it as long as we are carefull not to brake branches. I had fun.

Sounds like fun, I need to get Sis out on some trails when her hoof is better. I hope those orchards don't contain apple trees, Stormy might get hungry.
