Live to Ride Trail Demonstration

Jenny LanceIt seems like many folks believe that a trail horse is just a horse who doesn’t show. 

So…your horse has a great sliding stop.  That’s awesome!  Your trail horse had also better STOP on a dime on cue.  Your life, your horse’s life, or avoiding an injury could depend on it.
