    So excited to see y'all in my home state of TN especially since I'm just a stone's throw from these trails :) Be sure to check out Big South Fork, Vonore, and all the great trails directly in the Smokies. It's so fun trail riding in TN! Glad Jafar had fun on his first trial, and that you mentioned bringing a hoof pick on trails. In TN it's super smart to bring one because of how rocky and sandy the terrain can become.

    The reason a horse stops at the edge of an obstacle whether it is a creek or gate or small hill is that the rider looks at the near edge of the creek. Tell the rider to look 30 feet past the I near side of the obstacle. The horse feels this and moves in through. It is the doubt if the rider causing the horse to stop.
    Try this.
    It always works.

      You make sure to stop often and offer water, give them hay bags, etc. if it’s over 9 hours I would stop and get them out, but this was a straight shoot and took us 8.5 hours and it was a cool day, they did really well. We made sure to move them out after unloading. ❤️

    16 miles! My butt is hurting already ;) 😉 How long did it take to complete that ride? I remember riding a trail in east Tennessee some 50 years ago (don't remember details though) but it certainly wasn't 16 miles - - only about 5, I think. Also, there weren't any scenic views like in your video as I saw better views on the ride up to the trail horse stables.

    • @freespiritequestrian
      @freespiritequestrian  2 роки тому

      Haha! It was really great. Because it was technical and we took it slow it took about 6 hours. But normally I can ride 15 miles in 1-2 hours and 30 miles in 3.5-4 hours. ❤️

But I love doing ground work/ Great opportunity to connect until I can ride. Walkers are the breed I've fallen in love with. Your trail rides makes me miss Bubba soon much. We knew and trusted each other more than others I've had. I got him when he was 12. He had been abused. but I promised him never to hurt him. He learned to trust me so much.

      Hi there, I’m sorry that you experienced a trigger response. I was talking to my husband and our relationship is very sarcastic sometimes. Moments before I specifically told him to shorten the reins before going into the creek for safety reasons and he didn’t, which was not good. He actually got himself into a dangerous situation, but I stopped filming to help him. I was also talking calmly and helping him through. You can’t understand everything from a single clip or know the relationship between people. I’m being realistic. When I post these videos I’m not just showing every perfect moment like it’s fantasy land, because that would be well, unrealistic. It’s my job to keep the riders safe on the trail and when someone does not listen, it can be very dangerous, and I take it seriously! This here is real life. Moreover, I’m a very encouraging person and trainer and If you watch anything else you will see that. This here is a situation where you truly did not have an understanding of the context. And as a rider myself, I prefer someone to be direct and correct me, it’s what makes you stronger in the long run. ❤️
