So today I finally got to ride my lovely mare in the ring again, we have been so busy with trail riding lately (have a trail riding business) that it just feels so good to be back in the arena on some days... just love that I have the choice. And guess what? Summer seems to be here - even on the west coast of Canada :lol:
Nope, have western tack for the other horses. I usually do not ride this horse on the trails, just from time to time... thats what I have my QHs for :0)
haha..my daughter does too..she refuses to ride in a western saddle..says she would barrel race in her dressage saddle!
OP..glad to read your post..thought I was being weird since after 3 years of riding in the open country I am building a riding arena cuz I miss it! and I agree with sky you 2 look great together!
Thanks guys. Yeah, I grew up riding the english way in the arena in Germany and since I came to Canada I focused on trail riding and ground and saddle training western horses but I guess one needs to go back to the roots at least from time to time :0) It is such a different riding and I love both but having the variety is what makes it for me. Oh and I would go in my dressage saddle on trail rides as well, it is pretty comfi :0)

I know exactly how you feel..The barn I was at before I had an un-fenced arena I could work in, along with go on trails or go run in the hay fields. Since I've moved to a different barn and only have trails, I miss the arena! I've been itching to get to an arena for the past 2 months, and I'm hoping I'll be able to go soon! I can't really work on patterns on a trail ride, lol. While I can get the mare back into working condition and in shape on the trails, I can't do a practice run on barrels or poles.
