Crossings

On our last ride, Coco experienced a lot of varied terrain. 
Here he is, walking over a little ravine with panache:
He's getting a lot of practice crossing water.  He takes a careful look:
eases in:
and trots up the other side:
Getting his feet wet doesn't seem so bad any more.

  2. That is so amazing. I've only ridden a horse really once- and that was only because he moved while I was sitting on the saddle!

    It's too bad too because we have a gorgeous saddle we inherited from my husband's grandfather. He made custom saddles and Robert Redford has one of them too!

  4. Coco is quickly becoming an expert on your rides. Mischief must be a marvelous teacher.

  5. Rivers and creeks can be tricky, I agree. Have they considered a suspension bridge over that particular spot BTW, it looks sort of congested? :)
