Do you folks have any judged pleasure trail rides in your area? She would be outstanding and they can be a lot of fun.
I don't know... we aren't much for competing these days...
She's rock steady by temperament but she only started leading on trail late last summer. Before that, she'd stop when in front and not want to go forward. No dancing, no spinning, just stopped. I like that, it's a safe way to react. Since my husband was pretty new to riding, we didn't push it and we let her follow for a year. That's in a strange place though... at home, she just wants to get into everything. She has some fine tuning she'd probably need to pass some of the tests in a trail competition... She doesn't side-pass, for one, we've worked on it a little, but not enough.
