Adam rode Dani

Adams regular mount, Apple Pie, was feeling a bit off yesterday, so Adam took Dani to the base of North Sister (a mountain...) to ride looking for hunting possibilities for the fall. He didn't find any suitable hunting areas, but had a good ride on Dani. He said it was really windy and she was somewhat spooky for that, but overall did great.

That was his first time riding her.

I rode her last week, for the, I think, third time. We went to Todd Lake horse camp. Didn't camp, but parked there and rode the trail. We didn't make it all the way to Todd Lake, but did cross a couple of pretty deep streams, went over a bridge, through some still quite deep snow patches and lots of mud and rocks.

She does better going back to the trailer. Not like she's trying to run home, but that she's seen this trail before and is more comfortable. Just lots of new things at once tend to make her a little wired. I've never felt like I was about to come off. Well, except that one time I did actually slide off when riding bareback...

Leg looks awesome. Feet are good. She's just a great girl.
