And what a fantastic ride - soooo beautiful with the grand vistas. As for Dixie getting lost... was she by chance headed for home?

I think I text/tell two or three people every time just because I do believe accidents or predators can happen.<br /><br />Rose last week knew the way back to the trailer even when I got lost so maybe she would survive... she is powerfully food motivated. I'm glad Dixie likes her new ride. think I'm going to try letting Rose ride loose too tomorrow for our first solo adventure tomorrow.Caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459999598962107210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-52141797347233117382011-05-14T16:05:34.180-07:002011-05-14T16:05:34.180-07:00Congrats on the trailer!

Instead, it's different idiots. I guess they didn't get the memo that blindly following your GPS is a BAD thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-28992609892746970872011-05-14T14:47:33.602-07:002011-05-14T14:47:33.602-07:00Boy, the clouds and sky were beautiful that day. ...Boy, the clouds and sky were beautiful that day.

I too have removed the divider in my little two-horse trailer & Khari uses the entire thing! She always rides facing back -- so she can terrorize other motorists on the road who drive up next to me (if possible) & motion that my horse is "loose"! :-) Really had to maintain a good "endurance" pace when you're out there alone.HHmsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129136410081149976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-49636350426978344942011-05-14T10:56:23.716-07:002011-05-14T10:56:23.716-07:00Congratulations on your trailer!!!

They are front-heavy and it is easier for them to control their momentum this way. In the UK I have seen love trailers where the horses walk in the side, ride backwards and then walk out the back when they are done. I'm sure they have them here too, but they don't seem as popular.Sarah Henderson, BCCDChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05506349125752830559noreply@blogger.com
