It was a beautiful day to go for a horseback ride. Barely 70° , Sunny with a light Breeze. So my girlfriend and I took her two horses and went about three miles down to the state park.
Her 3/4 Friesian (left) and Tennessee Walker that she adopted from a friend of hers that was moving. I rode him. I always wanted to try a Walker and it was pretty neat!
We had a great time but it's always a bit disappointing that they don't maintain it for the horseback Riders like they do for the hunters. There was mowing that really should have been done and they really need to widen the trails. Kick back all that wild brush! And there's so many trees down in the forest. But once in a while you'll see it right on the trail. This one didn't seem like it was hanging on by very much as we quickly ducked and went under it!
And then this one that we couldn't even pass. We had to turn around.
My very first time in a helmet!
I've never worn one. I was either in a baseball cap, a cowboy hat or nothing. But after a few concussions ( only one from a horse) at my age, which is old, I figured I better protect my head. My son told me Mom, if you fall off, you're going to die.
Could be I guess. So to satisfy everybody else I wore a helmet. Hey, I never thought I'd be on a horse at this age, so. Forever Young, that's what I say!
. I just thought I’d let yall know in case you were curious or had never heard of it before, horses can hold a lot of tension and this is such an inexpensive and simple tool to help.
