Holiday riding



We get to horse ride pretty much every weekend.  And we ride for however long we want.  And whereever we want.  We have access to unlimited trails in a state forest.  So when we go on holidays, you would think that we would do everything other than riding horses.  You would think that.

But, no!  We are on holidays and we have to go on a local trail ride.  And it's not some high country adventure ride.  It's the usual, one horse after another, plod-a-long.  Actually, for Sabina, it's perfect.  She gets the challenge of riding a bigger, stronger horse than Tornado.  I in turn, get to observe how she tackles that challenge, and what are her biggest issues.  In this case, the horse finally figures out that it's stronger than Sabina, and when we go through a field of lucerne it stops to graze.

For my husband and I it's nice enough time out, although we could have got the same out of riding our bikes or kayaks.
