    Re: [RC] How soon to take green horse on 1st trailride? - Ed and Wendy Hauser


    I prefer getting horses out on the trail ASAP.  I keep them walking (when on the trail) until they are relaxed etc.  Sometimes this takes 10-20 rides.
     
    They will never learn about a trail until they get there.  I saw a local TV personality try a CTR with her perfect show horse.  One that was fine with all sorts of crowds and arena's.  What a disaster!  The poor horse had thousands of hours of training and arena work, but the trail was as scarey as if she only had 30 days.
