Some lead, some follow. <br />Whenever I am in the back and her head is down and I may relax...I quickly say aloud, "This is my petfect trail horse~" And actually, she is perfect in the lead too!allhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-56231790635356769102011-03-23T07:59:25.605-07:002011-03-23T07:59:25.605-07:00I can understand how you feel about riding the lea...I can understand how you feel about riding the lead horse all the time. Dusty won't let anyone in front of her either, she always has to be leader of the pack and it is tiresome. Sometimes you'd like to just meander along peacefully but not on these mares.<br /><br />Skye is gorgeous and so is Maddy(and of course Wa mare too). Glad you all had a good day and Julie and her trailering went smoothly. Many more rides in your futures.

Wow! I love your stories. Glad you all had a safe and happy ride. What a funny adorable photo at the end! <br /><br />Very excited to hear about the sale. It must have been an adventure. Where in the world do you get all your energy? Did you go to the sale BEFORE the ride? I think I would have gone to the sale and then gone to bed. Those types of things tire me out. But, you trailered and went on a trail ride?

I really like riding alone when I ride Beamer, because I don't have to deal with his stallion issues. But it's always good to have them behave in a group, especially if they are willing to put up with training issues.Because after all, it might be my horse on one ride and someone else's horse on the next ride. Good trail partners are hard to find.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454110560303310751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-2689035187730977412011-03-22T12:46:40.689-07:002011-03-22T12:46:40.689-07:00Christian~

Then all the horses leave and I have to wait till they are completely out of sight..then she's good!<br />YUP..always a training ride I say, be prepared to add some!<br /><br />The "Crossover" is the "Endevor" dressage saddle, made to look Western. It is gorgeous! <br />Julie (my stablemate)is the Videographer that has done the videos for the web site of "ANSUR". She may be getting one of the "Crossovers" free...she has the "Classic" now.<br />OH YES...I dream of my new "Konklusion" saddle and how delicious it'll feel-for the BOTH of us!<br /><br />Barb~<br />I am so happy that you come along for my rides!! I love, and absolutely adore your MOUNTAINS and WILDLIFE and Hikes! Not to mention, your positive outlook at this life we all have and the twists and turns you take- in stride!<br /><br /><br />Karen~<br /> I think of you and Lori Skoog when I post wooded areas and water. Glad that you come for the ride! <br />P.S. I'm still looking up the design factors of that saddle you mentioned. I'm pretty much decided now, with all the newer matierals of a co-polymer flexing, carbon infused nature..I won't ever go back to a "Wood Tree" again. Those horseshoes I tried last year are as such as well...they absorb shock and flex.<br /><br />Horsemom~<br />OH GOOD TO KNOW about Cassy! Since we shall be RIDING TOGETHER this summer! But with only 2, (if Gem does not come) it should be good anyway. <br />Yea, I'm defensive a bit..I've a lot of NH folks eyeballing me and telling me it's all my fault, her TB-ness. She will "come back" to me though, credit points! <br />We've come so far together and if I had stuck to the NH..wouldn't have ridden at all! <br />I'm trying hard to sell anything I can for the saddle to be MINE when it's done! MAY sometime, I hope. I do dream of a few things .. I always dream of how it would be to ride my mare in an arena environment, calmly, and balanced-no attiude from her. Now, I dream of "posting" and "two point" or even "half seat"! I really miss stirrups!allhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-74515575310241779182011-03-22T12:19:19.928-07:002011-03-22T12:19:19.928-07:00Wa is what she is and will always be.

Can't take it out of her I don't think:) Cassy doesn't mind being in the back so much as long as her leader isn't slow, if they are she will head butt them to push them along, lol. I only allowed her to do this to her very best friend and pasture mate when I knew she wouldn't be kicked!
