Western Trail Riding
For many of us our trail riding stops once the winter sets in. We give our saddles and tack a through cleaning, put our saddles back on the rack, hang up the tack and lock up for the winter.
We turn our horses out for exercise and if we do have a good day for riding we’ll take it, but basically we stop working on keeping our horses fit for trail riding. Come spring we start back up working with our horses, begin conditioning and get back out on the trail.
Or do we?
I just read an article in Western Horseman about a Nevada ranch which uses the snow for working their young horses. It’s an interesting read. It’s called Snow Colts.
