|
When the weather is at its best, trailriding is one of the most enjoyable things you can do.
No matter what discipline you usually participate in, the benefits of spending a day out in
wide open spaces are numerous, for both you and your horse. Trail riding exposes your
horse to new experiences and learning opportunities. If your horse is used to being
subjected to the monotony of running a pattern, jumping, or strict schooling in
a certain discipline, the new challenges of the trail will be a refreshing change. Whatever situation
you and your horse are in, spending the weekend out on the trails is the best way to fully
experience earth's peaceful beauty.
To find the best horse trails near you, use one of these websites. Just do a search in your
state for horseback riding trails, and choose one that sounds interesting to you. Call a few
of your friends with horses and set aside a weekend to get together.
