September Trail Ride

[idahomustanger]

Hi everyone....

Just wanted to share a few pictures from a trail ride that my husband, 2 saddle pals and I took last Saturday. We rode a portion of Trail 120, which is part of the Pend Oreille Crest Trail System...this particular stretch was on the Trestle Creek Range. We rode 5 hours (up and back) and it was a gorgeous day with spectacular scenery. The dunalino mare that I'm riding is a 1/2 Kiger (her sire was a grullo out of Riddle) and her mother was supposedly a 1/2 Kiger 1/2 QH (don't know anything about her). She's a great trail horse and nice to ride! You might also recognize Gypsy - the 1/2 Kiger - 1/2 Appy mare too.

OK I am green with envy What beautiful scenery to ride in and what a beautiful dunalino horse you are riding there. Could not ask for a better day and a nicer ride. Sun is shining with the good company of friends as well. Thanks for sharing the pics and giving me something to daydream about. ;D

wow wonderful pictures.love the horse's... I am so looking forward to a ride, but here is my delima any ideas will be of great worth:
I have arthritis in lower back and knees, have to use a mounting block to mount up, now what do you do when you are out on the trail, and no block to use??? that is one reason I have turned down going out on Saturday's with friends here, now I can't till doc say my lower hip/back is healed,,but I just might go ahead and ride stormy tomorrow....

Nola:

You can get portable mounting blocks that fold up and tie to your saddle. Here is one example.

That is pretty cool Kelly. When I trail ride with Claudia the Clyde and need to remount up on the trail I usually just find me a good rock or log. I can mount Claudia from the left or right that helps as well because I can not always move a big rock or log.
