We didn't have trouble on the bridge, but it's not comfortable enough for pictures either. Bay goes across like a coiled spring... it's loud and clanky, particularly with more than one horse on it, and it moves when they're on it. They start out slow, and start walking faster and faster to get off it. It's probably a full four feet wide, but I feel like it's narrow with those knife edge railings lurking there to get me in the knees :~D
ecurbh didn't get off for either the bridge or the water. He's brave. I always want to get off and lead them if they're reluctant at all, we brought her halter and lead rope to use if needed, and I sortof assumed he'd have to get off and lead Cyn into the river, and maybe over the bridge, but she was fine. We went over and through each several times from each direction. She didn't want to go first over the bridge, but she was fine to follow. We'll have more bridges like that today, but no river crossings.
I've only had several horses that shied away from getting in a creek, but almost all of them will avoid a puddle if possible.

Thinking about getting in pubbles, made me think about some obstacles at CTR. I've had to side pass into a puddle, side pass out of a puddle, back into a puddle, and side pass to a tree and tie a ribbon in it while in a creek. Those are fun things to work on:)

Everyone is praising Cyn but I just want to praise ecurbh. I know he isn't as experienced as a lot of folks on here and I think he is brave to put her through the ropes like that. It sounds like he and Cyn have a good relationship.
Well Done ecurbh! : D
