Well here I go again! Just got back from a trip where horses were the main mode of transportation. I was not raised around horses, but over the past 4 years I have done several hunting trips where we have used horses.
On this trip to British Columbia the horse I rode was named Zippo. He was a beautiful trail horse and he took very good care of me and my equipment.
I rode Zippo 11 miles to base camp and then each day we would ride 8-16 miles a day in the mountains on this hunt. The terrain was rough and thank God for the horses because it was way too much land to walk on foot and be successful on this hunt.
SIDE NOTE: The only problem I had was that I forgot that boxers weren’t a smart choice when riding horses! When I would go to saddle up or when the horse started trotting this caused some extreme discomfort on my part! NOTE TO SELF, NEVER WEAR BOXERS TO A RODEO!!!!!
