Sorry we had two-way traffic but thanks for being so super polite and letting me come down the hill first :) Next time I'll come and find you in camp and tell you all about why you don't need to bother with poultice and wraps and instead should teach your horse to stand in a bucket of (ice) water, or just use cold wraps, and also keep her moving to prevent the stocking up...

That canyon drive is still scary (and I live there!) The helmet cam footage is great, but I did wonder about low-hanging branches. 11 minutes to spare is still finishing, but is a long time on trail. Great job.<br /><br />(And if you ever want to ride down to No Hands Bridge from Auburn, no driving the scary canyon, just let me know!)irish horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289040711028666546noreply@blogger.com
