Leafy trails and a fun brook walk


Zoe and I trotted out across the highway to one of our favorite places- we love to traipse up this brook. It's one of the first outings we take our horses in training on, so they can be exposed to water, stepping up and down scarey places and learning to trust their
rider. OYY Ivan got his first taste of this brook walk on Tuesday.
Keri of course is a seasoned brook walker.

Ivan crosses the highway for the first time too.








Keri and I step back and allow Ivan first dibs on stepping up the little waterfall, so he can do it on his own instead of just being the 'follower' .








The leaves give every trail a whole new look-- This is one big plus to living in an area that has seasons.. Each quarter- a new view of the same old scene :)




Enjoy your day ~

  1. This is my kind of ride! I am so glad you post so I can ride along with you both. You do such a good job of preparing your horses for new owners. It is so true what you say about riding in New England, you have a different trail in each of the four seasons even though you are on the same patch of ground.
