[RC] Roadside riding - Kathy RamspottApril,I didn't know folks rode along the road at all. If I could do that I'd be in great shape. I trailer all the time to parks but if I could get my horses (and myself) used to riding alongside the road I have a park 3 miles away. There is a big shoulder but the cars go by at 60 alone about 1 mile of it. The other 2 miles are slower country roads. *Any suggestions* on how I can get myself used to cars zipping by and getting horses used to mailboxes? They always slow way down while passing mailboxes and look the entire time. If I try trotting past they make a real wide arc around them which I don't like too much either. Walking for 3 miles just would wear me out before I even got to the park due more to the fear factor then anything else. I would never have to be on the road but some of the time (I drive it all the time and am always studying just how Could I do this) the bank is pretty sloped along the side of it which would also make it difficult to trot on the horse I would imagine?
