May in Ohio is a beautiful time to trail ride and one of my favorite places to go is Mohican State Park. Spring flowers and ferns are still sneaking up and because the leaves are not fully out yet it is possible to see further than you can in full summer. This day it was almost 85 degrees out but under the cover of the trees we stayed nice and cool.
One of my favorite parts of this ride are the multiple water crossings. The horses love to drink and play in the water before we head back up and down the many hills. This trip was also special because a good friend joined us and took her mare out for her first trail ride. I do have to admit that my pants were very wet and not very clean by the time I got done…and my inner legs were a bit sore…but I plan on doing it again as soon as possible!

No one taught you the skills you need to work through these things.
Riders often encounter self-doubt, fear, anxiety, frustration, and other challenging emotions at the barn. The emotions coursing through your body can add clarity, or can make your cues indistinguishable for your horse.

Loved to see you get off at the end of the ride and being like the rest of us
and having to bend over from the stiffness. My days of bareback riding have been over for 20 years. I need to walk the next day!
ya think Newt was confused with your “leg cues” at the 1:21 mark???…. lol…. and PoPcorn would have really enjoyed that water for sure!!
I remember my first trail ride with Penny was at Mohigan state park with you guys after a clinic She was so good for being just a three year old. Have fun. I’m jealous!!
