Hittin' the trails

Hampton looked at me in confusion when, for the second day in a row, I had the Big White Box pulled up to the barn in preparation for another road trip. But he and Lilly, the Walker, loaded right up and off we went to Tippecanoe River State Park. It's about an hour drive for us and we arrived with no issues.

Hampton working on untying himself.

Both ponies tied nicely to the hitching post and we both jumped right on with no lunging. Both of them were calm and well behaved the entire time. I was so proud! Plus the park is gorgeous. The entire day was relaxing, although exhausting and the mosquitoes had a FEAST on me. ugh. Still, it was so fun and Hampton really enjoyed it I think. He marched along with his ears pricked the entire time. We both switched out leading and following and both horses did fine. I think we rode for about 3 hours? Um, we did get a tiny bit lost. The park doesn't mark their trails well and the map doesn't match what trails they do have marked so we had to guess and just hope for the best.

Lovely trails! So fun!

I did get a short video and I will edit that tonight. It's really cute. :)

Hampton gets a well deserved day off today. Although he didn't seem the least bit tired yesterday after our ride. Thoroughbreds!!
