I always the outside of a horse is the best medicine for the inside of man/woman. And the world certainly looks a lot better through the ears of a horse.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016073653349776611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119396149535553972.post-62150098209386374292012-12-19T20:34:27.984-07:002012-12-19T20:34:27.984-07:00My wife had horses on their Nanaimo farm when she ...My wife had horses on their Nanaimo farm when she was young and was a competition rider. However, she has not been on a horse since in spite of looking longingly at every rider we pass on our travels. Last week when we were parked near Mazatlan a local Mexican was leading a few horse mounted tourists on a sundown ride along the surf line. It looked very appealing and she announced she was going to do it the next day. Unfortunately the next day, after considering her repaired hip and 70 year old bones, she changed her mind. Too bad, it would have been good for her.Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119396149535553972.post-37043342150952684592012-12-19T11:03:10.661-07:002012-12-19T11:03:10.661-07:00I bet that little horse and Brenda will get on fam...I bet that little horse and Brenda will get on famously. You coloured the test drive quite well and it seems you both like the result. Yea....Brenda is back on the trail rides with the others now!

It is important to know whether the horse and rider are compatible. We had made the decision and executed the deal before yesterday so that was just a ride to confirm that she could do all the things we require before we take her into some rougher terrain with larger groups of folks.<br /><br />As for a "sweat" it is really just a poultice type of dressing that keeps the heat and medicine in and offers a little support. Kinda like Absorbine Junior and a tensor bandage on a sore ankle, which is what it appears that Willow has.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016073653349776611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119396149535553972.post-17260319892581642072012-12-19T07:57:16.522-07:002012-12-19T07:57:16.522-07:00Whoo Hoo, found the comment area.

What is a sweat? Is it a sweater for a horse, or do you make her perspire??Travels with Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411769980205792011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119396149535553972.post-26957801589501048372012-12-18T22:12:32.569-07:002012-12-18T22:12:32.569-07:00You guys have been doing a lot of 'horsing aro...You guys have been doing a lot of 'horsing around' from the looks of it(I know, that's really bad!).<br /><br />Great photos of your trail rides.
