T- Trail Rides

I love trail rides!  Nothing like being in nature with a beautiful horse as your companion.

 

 

With my lease horses I had some "trail riding" experience.  Willy and I did some trail rides though they were more road rides than anything!  I tried to ride Millie my lease horse but she shied at birds chirping and flying in trees...LOL. 

 Lately all the trail riding I have done has been with rental trail ride, touristy type rides.  These are fun for sure. 

 

My favorite is M Lazy Ranch in Lake George, Colorado.  They are in a really pretty are not far from Colorado Springs.  I've gone many times with my mom and the hubby.

 

 

As a kid I remember coming back to Colorado to visit family and having a trail ride, I think this was in Estes Park.

 

 

When I was in high school there was a stable called Greenland Stables in Virginia where you could rent a horse by the hour and ride on trails, unguided.  That was nice because my friends and I could go together and have a good time.  The horses were never the best because I'm sure inexperienced horse people would rent them and "ride" like crazy.

 

I look forward to riding Dani on trails.  I hope this summer with Kit Carson and my other horse friends I'll be able to get Dani in a trailer and out on some trails.  I'd like to try nearby local trails first, just in case anything happens.  Then eventually an overnight packing trip would be tons of fun!!!
