(I haven't taken a poll, but my chosen sport of dressage seems particularly populated with non-religious folks.) I do enjoy our group's weekend camping trips, though, because we worship as well as ride together. There's a common bond among us because we are deeply grateful to our Creator for all that He has made, especially the horses that we love so much. And we're not "exclusive;" anyone is welcome to join us!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650503331857488880.post-41619914608524738032016-06-19T15:20:03.733-07:002016-06-19T15:20:03.733-07:00Why do you have a religious oriented trail riding ...Why do you have a religious oriented trail riding group? I saw someone at a trail ride advertising on their business card "Christian horse sitter" for pet sitting. I asked him what did that mean because "My horses aren't religious". I hope you also are willing to ride with non-Christians because trail riding really doesn't need to be a religious event.

Looks like a wonderful time was had by all. <br /><br />The day will soon come when Brian can be trusted to mind himself for several hours on end.

Now that I have a son, I am not at liberty to take off like that. Brian doesn't want to go with me, and no, I don't trust him at home alone.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650503331857488880.post-84816339936361665042013-08-05T18:29:35.838-07:002013-08-05T18:29:35.838-07:00What a great post!

I walked Woodrow for 2 weeks when I started training him for short endurance rides, and then added in trot, then canter. If Lance is this steady on the trail, you might want to consider doing some distance riding with him. It's great fun to out for miles and miles and miles with just your horse.
