In your opinion what makes the ultimate trail horse?
As far as personality is the horse should be willing, trusting, confident, and steady. The horse should also think before it reacts.
But what about the obsticles? What should the ultimate trail horse be able to do?
I'm asking these because I would like to turn my mare into an amazing trail horse. She has the personality for it and I think we could excell in this area. I'd like to join ACTHA and do the competative trail rides in the future, and maybe some trail classes as well.
We have most of the basics down such as crossing water, bridges, logs, roads, railroads, we can open gates (need somemore work to perfect it), our back and stand still need work as well.
We cannot side pass or ground tie and I plan on working n those both.
