Tea- Biscuits Tale From The Trail

  Tea- Biscuit has been a hard worker and is beyond far what I ever dreamed of for my next project. After having the weekend off. I rode her for the second time today and felt a great reward would be to explore her new surroundings. Yes, a trail ride was next on my agenda.
 No horse enjoys going round and round a ring 5 to 6 days a week and many riders are fooled into thinking that constant drilling in the ring will produce performance perfection. These riders often fail to see the true benefit of a good trail ride, a day of ground work or just an easy hack.
  The trail is not only a good way to build confidence while enjoying work from a different perspective. It incorporates different muscle groups than ring work and allows the horse and rider team building exercises to begin, It is my hope that Tea- Biscuit will be my next event partner so hopping a log or crossing water should be old hat before we head out to the cross country field.
  Tea was a superstar and was rewarded with a few treats along the way to encourage her to continue her brave no nonsense approach to her new experience. All in all a GREAT day!
