Notoriously Merry WF (Tori) was fantastic on her first trail ride at Masterson Equestrian Trust (MET) being ponied off her big brother CH Good Deal.
She trotted calmly across wide-open fields, crossed streets, saw several larger XC jumps, went through an arbor, jumped a BN ditch, crossed a creek, played in the BN water, did a little down bank and up bank, and crossed a bridge!
She met a whole group of kiddos on bicycles and learned that wheels (and small humans!) are a-ok, saw lots of dogs and, when we finally returned to the trailer, learned it’s a good thing to drink while traveling!
Big brother Doodad was a champ convincing her that bicycles and especially water were not scary, and VERY patiently standing in the creek crossing for a long time 😊
