Hit the road Jack

Yep I hit the road! This is my first trip down a road. There were cars, dogs, mailboxes, and newspaper tubes...oh my! I was perfect, so perfect the DOR could take pictures.














We went down the road a bit and then we took a right turn into a hay field. Now what kind of evil torture is that? Making this poor starving spotted pony walk through that field and not letting him stop to graze. The DOR says that we were on a trail ride, not a trail graze. Hmmmm, I showed her, I managed to snitch a few bits here and there during the entire ride.








Here is a view of the hills we were by.
















We wondered down an irrigation canal road. I have never done that before either! We had to go past a weir box to get to a road to follow in an orchard. I was worried that it would eat me. The DOR learned from Bill Basham "It is a poor leader that won't lead, get off and help you horse if that is what it needs." Well that was what I needed, so she did. She also knew that it might mean she would have to walk the rest of the way. You see the DOR shattered her left knee and it doesn't work quite right, she hasn't been able to mount from the ground for the past 20 years. Well I stood a bit down hill, the SCC held the off stirrup and she did it...she mounted from the ground. She had a big ol grin and told me how good I was for helping her...alrighty then all I did was stand still.

Here is the SCC on Coelho. He and I played "keep the other horse last in line". I won most of the time. I also found out that the paint can move when he wants. Of course most humans have seen paint run LOL!
It was a grand ride. The DOR says I just keep getting better and better. I am glad she loves me so much. I hear that she is planning lots of trail rides next summer. Great I love to go trail grazing, errr I mean trail riding.
Enjoy your day and don't forget to hug your DOR

Congrats on such a great ride. And you were good to stand still. My AM (alpha mare) makes a BIG DEAL out of standing still. I even got a COOKIE once for standing still.

You are really brave. Lilly and I are very impressed. Me especially. Lilly just snorted. She's not scared of anything outside the trailer.

Cibolo and Lilly, your QH friends in Texas.

It sounds like you've made great progress in getting your DOR to trust you - you should be really proud of her! Sounds like a fun ride - nice that she helped you out when you needed it, too - I like your DOR! Maisie

What a beautiful place to ride Jack. Dusty likes to sneak bites too! I am always getting after him. He needs to pay more attention to where he is going instead of eating. Good boy for letting the DOR get back on. You're a keeper!!! HUGS!

Hay Jack...now that you are becoming trail trained...maybe you could train yourself to "park out" for your DOR so she could mount easier!!!
