You may be surprised that the trail boogies do not boogie her. I've discovered numerous times that the things we think should spook a horse don't.

Yesterday a deer bounded across the trail not 20 foot ahead of me, Harley saw it, but did no more then prick his ears up, and watch it disappear into the woods. A while later we were going down another trail and I saw a tire laying at the side. I have tires laying all over the arena, he has seen plenty of them, as we approached it I felt him tighten up and as we came close he went sideway's:) Silly horse. You just never know.

As SL was once a trail horse she will probably do fine with the things that you would normally find on trail.

LOL! Funny that we're both taking about deer and you have one experience and I have another. Like you say, you just never know what's going to freak them out.
