So yesterday we went on a trail ride. I love trail rides. Which is really good because the reason why I am at Evonly is because of an accident that happened on a trail ride. Fred absolutely loves trail rides. Well really,what horse wouldn't? It's a little more space than in an arena. So last week I went on a trail ride with Fred and my instructor Devon and her horse Magic. As i've said before,I've been learning to canter. Well there is one spot on a particular trail that we go on that we trot on it. It is alot of fun. Last week instead of trotting,Fred immediately started cantering. I had never cantered on my own before so i was doing everything all wrong. We jumped too,but it was all accidental. So even though it was a good ride,it wasn't. Because i didn't have control.
Well this week we had another trail ride. It went alot better. The cantering happened again but it was more to my control. So it ended up being a much better ride. I can always depend on Fred. What i have learned about the horses that i have ridden there is that horses usually don't intend to hurt you. Sometimes they just get a little carried away. Now he didn't hurt me,but what i'm trying to say is that horses WILL protect their rider.
