Veronica has been making all kinds of strides recently, from venturing off-site to spending more and more time riding out in the big arena. But what she hasn’t quite done yet is go out on the trails. One of the first baby steps we take with the horses to gear them up for walks outside of the confines of an arena setting is to go for a ride around the property. It’s a great way to dip our toes in the water while still maintaining a fairly controlled environment.
Veronica did very well on her “trail ride.” Esme led the way on foot to provide horse-support, but with Terry supporting her from the saddle, Veronica felt relaxed and mellow plodding along the road. Hopefully this will be the first of many rides outside for our brave Veronica!
