I try to ride mine both once a week too. I like riding both in the arena and on the trails. I'll ride in just about any type of weather except the pouring rain. Good thing I live in a desert:)
I had drill team practice last night and rode Willow. It's been a little windy, but otherwise the weather here has been really nice.
Free range cows definitely make trail rides interesting. The 1st time my horse saw one, she shot sideways 10 feet, and was like "what the heck is that"!

Had a nice ride on my mare this morning,although it was quite cold & windy. Tomorrow should be warmer, but we are going hiking in the morning, & hope we can squeeze in another ride afterwards. I feel bad if I don't got both horses ridden at least once a week. Have you been able to ride? What kind of riding do you like best? I ride my mare in my Aussie saddle & the Arabian in a Western. They are new to the free range cows here & are adjusting amazingly well.

I'm about 20 miles East of Kingman.very close to where the 40 & 93 meet. Because of "free range" cows, I am keeping my hay in the horse trailer for now.Moving is much overated & I'm not coping too well. Both horses have been out on the last 2 W/E's, & am planning a ride w/my neighbor tomorrow, if it doesn't rain. Where are you located?

Thanks for your reply. Love the pics of your ride. I'm hoping to find some folks to go riding with once I'm permanently in AZ. I hope there isn't a lot of animosity just because I'm coming from CA~my husband was born in Phoenix, so he's kind of going back to his roots-LOL! Kathy C.

Hi, I'm looking to move to AZ~Kingman area & move my 2 horses to my new place. Do you know anything about crossing the border? I haven't seen anything going into AZ, but coming back to CA, is usually a hassle, I know if I were transporting a horse or two ,it would be questioned. Do you have any advice? Itried to make a new thread about this, but it didn't work. Thanks, Kathy C.

thank you.

I completely understand. Thanks for your advice.

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to come off as rude on that thread. People just really tick me off when I want a bigger breed. (not you) - I looked up Shtzhund.. I love it. Although it might teach the puppy to kill a fast moving goat. I really have to look into it further. I'm loving the site you showed me. Thank you. Very, very much.

Uggh! Hate being on lock down.

Thank you. We'll consider Gold Canyon, Apache Junction, Queen Creek, and Tuscon

Ya'll are in my prayers.

I can't really tell a difference in the sound a bull snake makes and the sound a rattlesnake makes. The only way I can tell what they are is if I get a good look at their head or tail. Chicken that...

If it's warm enough after exercising wash him, and use a rubber curry comb to brush him down while he's wet. I always pull tons of hair out that way and the horses love it. They just stand there...

I glad things went well. Take it easy! (easy by definition is "not hard or difficult; requiring no great labor or effort" Does not include housework, cleaning stalls, or running kids around. Also...

I really enjoyed the 7 clinics series. It's probably some of the best training DVD's I've seen.

It is very humbling, but empowering at the same time. That horses as large as they are would let humans lead and direct their movement is mind boggling.
