I can ride right out my property to state land & follow
the hilly foothill powerline trails. But all those are really technical &
rocky (& lots of ruts from ATVs/ trucks). Theres dozens of miles of that
stuff, but very boring to me as I cannot canter, & many times cannot trot.
So, if I want to canter, I have to trailer 10 to 30 minutes
away. We have a large outdoor roping arena with good footing. So if I want to
canter I can in there, 6 times around is a mile, but that’s pretty boring
too. Or I can get 3 miles in by riding the gravel shoulder of the road before I
get to the main highway.
I envy the people in Florida
with flat places to canter for miles!!!! I am so tired of mountains & rocky
technical trails! You can’t really condition at only a walk..
