Tina, I walk up steep hills and jog in hand down (save legs) or walk down
(steep) hills mounted. On steep hills mounted and trotting is hard on front
legs. Anytime my horse is having a hard time I get off but one has to be
careful there too...Linda who has done many a steep hill sliding down on her
rear with horse flailing along.
