High Mountain Trails Again

I headed up the canyon to the Pete Winward trailhead to meet a friend and her son. We did an 8 mile loop and it was a blast! Jetta led the whole way and was a BIG girl; we passed cows, other riders (one large group of ten or so horses), trail runners with dogs, etc. Busy trails today, that's for sure! But this girl handled all of it. We did a fair amount of trotting, too. She is definitely getting stronger and  is developing some good  trail savvy. She also LOVES standing in creeks. Yes, she drinks, but she just loves standing in the water. Such a kid! No pics unfortunately, but trust me on this--those mountains are gorgeous right now!

I then headed down to a barn full of dressage/jumpers where I trimmed four new horses. Jetta hung out at the trailer in the parking lot with her hay net and a bucket of water for three hours. No pawing or fretting at all. She drank the water, but man was she thirsty when we got home! She's easy to be around which makes it all so fun!
