Walking/Hiking in 2023

[Marsha Cassada]

Walked yesterday 1 1/2 mile. Neighbor went also so both horses got to go. I walked Billy the Kid. I like to pick up litter along the way, so we did some can smashing and kicking. I thought about practicing my fall, but chickened out.

Practicing your fall?

Yeah, practicing a fall only inside the arena for me. I would chicken out too.
It is nice when both horses can go out at the same time. I think mine like it that way too

Practicing your fall?

Yes, sometimes when walking one can fall--stepping on uneven ground, turning too quickly. Sometimes a horse will spook then and it can be challenging. So, practicing falling while the horse is on a lead rope, so he will be able to handle the unexpected, is something to think about.

Hi guys! I have the ribbons all package up and ready to go ! The ones I have addresses for will be mailed Saturday and the others as soon as I get your address. I need names and addresses for Marn 4, Kimbalina, Capriole, Hershy Mint, Mindy Schroeder, and MajorClem I need yours as I dunno if you've moved. Just send me a message if you see this and I will also message you, so hopefully we will connect!

Like say I’m walking on a trail and decided to go up a hill and I fall? And the horse might freak out then? If so then I have practiced this myself for safety reasons on a trail.

Ella and I walked one hour today. We had a great relaxing time with lots of foraging for her.

Walked with Bliss for 30 minutes today

About a mile with Rowan today - it was windy with horizontal snow flurries and I hadn't had him out in several weeks so did a bunch of long-lining in the ring first and then a short out-and-back on the trail.

20 minute for Oatie and 30 minutes each for Peanut and Cappy. The weather has been dank and dismal all month so I've been lazy with them.

1/15
30 Minutes working with Mint. It was a bit windy and misting. Worked on me going to the ground, having a rope behind her and all over her.

 

[Crimson Rose]

I walked Bliss for one hour today, and Ella for 30 minutes

So do we just say how long we worked our minis that day? In this thread.

 

[HersheyMint]

I use miles when we are out on hikes/walks and use minutes when I work with them around the property.

1/21
I walked with Hershey .75 mile

 

[Abby P]

About 2 miles with Rowan. Although he probably did three, because he was being a noodge and ended up doing some extra work.

Ella and I walked for one hour today

Hi, I received my ribbon yesterday. Thank you so much! I loved the packaging and ribbon match
The post office added their label to the package and it had the wrong street. You addressed it correctly, but they screwed up! The important is I did get. I love it Thank you again

I walked 45 minutes with Ella today
