The weather was perfect, the foliage (or what's left of it) was colorful, and the horses were all in excellent form. Isabel led the way out, and the other two horses took turns leading home. Such a relaxing and enjoyable ride! Please enjoy the photo spam :)
That looks like such a gorgeous place to ride!
ReplyDeletewe are *so* lucky that our barn property adjoins this state park... it's soooo beautiful
DeleteLove the photo spam & her happy pricked ears, she is such a trooper.
ReplyDeleteLooks like ye had a beautiful day! ☺
she was so happy to be out - it had been over 3 wks because of our show schedule. poor thing needed the mental break :)
DeleteBest time of the year for trail rides! I see what you mean, Izzy really does march along when leading haha
ReplyDeleteshe really does love it - tho interestingly this was also our first trail where she was actually out-walked! and, even better - she didn't care and was happy to lag behind (so we got to sneak in a few canters to catch up, fun fun)
DeleteLooks so pretty around there!!
ReplyDeleteit really is - so peaceful too!
DeleteSo pretty! Looks like a wonderful day :)
ReplyDeleteit was perfect. crazy to think i went almost 10 years w no trail riding before i came to this barn... never again :)
DeleteLooks like a blast!!
ReplyDeleteoh it was it was!
DeleteLooks like it was beautiful and fun!
ReplyDeleteand so relaxing!
DeleteSuch beautiful pictures! Looks like everyone had a great time. :)
ReplyDeletewe did - and it was cool being out with other speed walkers - esp since isabel *hates* having to wait up for the slow pokes lol
DeleteThat fifth photo is just AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteall the water crossing (and there are many) are just so so pretty. (that's part of why i'm so surprised isabel has issues with water out on xc... but i guess that's another story)
DeleteBeautiful! I love trail riding more than anything, I think. :)
ReplyDeletei love it too - tho it's hard to choose between trails and jumping, perhaps why i enjoy xc so much!
DeleteBeautiful! Me = jealous!
ReplyDeleteit really is so pretty out there - and each season has something different to offer :)
DeleteLooks like fun!
ReplyDeleteyes indeed!! i only wish fall lasted longer...
DeleteLooks like a super fun ride! Sometimes having fewer riders actually makes it more fun. I love all the pictures. She has such cute ears and such a pretty mane. :)
ReplyDeletei agree - fewer riders allowed for us to ensure we all got the ride we wanted :)
DeleteWhat beautiful pictures! There is nothing better than a fall trail ride.
ReplyDeletethanks - and i couldn't agree more. trail rides are always a great break from the routine, but something about the fall season makes them seem very special
