Nothing better then riding horses in the high country when the weather is cool and there is moisture in the air. Had a great 3 hour ride with some friends. (Dave, Terrie, Jill, Mike,Tim). This is a very shady trail with wonderful footing for gaited horses. It allows you to move quickly in the foxtrot if you want to. It provides great views, rich lush plants and wonderful smells. It is nice as it is only about 40 minutes from home. This is a very good trail for training horses and getting them used to seeing bikes and hikers on the trail. I think this loop at snow basin is definitely in my top 10 places to ride within an hour from home. It was fun to bring Tiger Lilly along to run free. She stayed right with us and was totally obedient. A big Thanks to Jill for riding Harley and giving her a good morning exercise. I rode my pregnant Cisco this morning and as usual she is an absolute joy to be with. She had allot of enthusiasm and wanted to move out strong and quick. We had some soft rain which made it fresh and the trail soft. Simply a wonderful ride!!!
Horse Advice: Consider a gaited horse if your main horse riding is trail riding. Riding a gaited a Fox Trotter is a wonderful treat indeed. Once you try it you will find yourself addicted.
Life Advice: Make new friends. "He who has a thousand friends, has not a friend to spare". One of the things trail riding provides is an opportunity to make new friends.
