That’s Sugar! They are the best of friends. There wasn’t another horse to spare to be a buddy for him so the barn owner threw her in with him and they hit it off right away. She’s had her since birth, she’s about eight years old now. She thinks she a dog and practically climbs in my lap, and also gets into EVERYTHING…
I went to the National Western Stock Show in Denver every year to watch some of the competitions, incl. freestyle reining. Every year there were several competitors who worked bridleless and I always loved to see that! The pinnacle was when one of the bridleless riders won the freestyle competition, and then I didn't feel the need to go anymore.My FB and IG algorithms have been showing me a lot of video's of the UK's first bridleless dressage and show jumping competition. Pretty amazing! Of course it's very polarizing
I talked to my friend yesterday and asked her if her Tahoe has four wheel drive. It does! She said she didn't even think of that ! LOL duh. She said she usually doesn't have any trouble going up that hill. This time it just seemed to have more gravel that made us slide a little more than what she was used to.
We are in a hilly area; some of the best riding near me requires going up an 8 mile long gravel road (and back down again when you're through) to the parking and trailhead at the top. You definitely need a good tow vehicle w/ 4wd going up hills.
