Buckfever,
We haven't ridden our horses on a trail ride for several months. Waiting for better footing. Too icy or muddy right now. I'm getting itchy, but it won't be much longer.
Here are some photos from one our our rides from last year.
Oaky and me after a climb to 8500 feet. He was a little tired. Me too.
My wife, Linda, and her Arab. She's the real horse person in the family. Maybe you can call her a "whisperer".
A calf elk that we rode right by. The horses didn't smell it nor saw it because it just froze.
