Directly in front of me is my landlord's wife Lavonne, who is riding her 30 year old Morgan mare, and, as you can see, hardly ever has her hands on the reins. It makes Bob nuts when she does this. ;~D But Bob was not there today.
This land had Ponderosa Pine planted on it.... which I think made it seem hotter than it really was today. Pines remind me of Arizona.
In front of Lavonne is My landlord Dick, who is riding his Appy Dan. He's the one who had Bay before me.
We're pretty spoiled for trails... the trails today were very rough and narrow in places, not like the state forest at all. All home-made. :~D
ecurbh coming down a hill behind me ;~D
The lady in front on the really loud leopard Appy is the one who invited us along today.
This place, the trees were so thick it really was this dark. No undergrowth... They needed thinned.
Pics from the front of the pack...
~Waves to my husband in the back there~
Great pics! And that leopard Appy is really cool.
See how Bruce is leaning back in that pic of him & Cyn coming downhill? That's what I mentioned I was doing earlier and wasn't sure if it was right.
Glad to see that it's acceptable. :-D
As far as leg cues go, that "bending the horse around the leg" description comes pretty close to what I'm doing.
