First Fall Ride

Yesterday was beautiful and J had some extra time so we went for a little spin on Horse Heaven.

 J is wanting to keep Jessica in shape in case he decides to go on another endurance ride this year.

 I wanted to take Wrangler because I have never had him out on a trail yet and wanted to add some trail pictures to his For Sale ad.

 He did better than I expected although there were some annoying things.  There is absolutely no way he could hope to keep up with Jessica at a trot.  He will go a little faster than in the show ring but not by much.

And he was a little bit like trying to ride a blood hound.  He head was down sniffing the ground for at least the first hour.  But at least he wasn't spooky or nervous.  A good ride on a beautiful day.
