Will you walk with me?

Something I enjoy doing a lot right now is to walk with the horses from the field to the riding arena and back. I always bring a halter, but usually they follow me without.  Both Minor and Weto will usually meet me by walking… Continue Reading “Will you walk with me?”

Summer Academy and Trainer Day 2023
