For once, a picture not taken by me, but of me. 

Willow and I and three other horse-person couples joined me in going to an outdoor trail park. What is a Trail Park? It was first invented in the USA by people who take their horse somewhere to go trail riding. They do not want any surprises like the horse not wanting to cross a bridge, not wading through a creek, not walking up or down natural stairs or any other natural obstacles. A trail park is for you to train this at home before you set off. 

We tried out so many obstacles, including a suspension bridge! As you would expect, Willow was an absolute STAR! He simply did everything without questions, and he was much less clumsy than I had expected. He proved to be a real mountain goat! 

Oh, and he knew how well he did! So proud of himself all the time. Also, he was pretty sure he deserved much more cookies for how well he did all the time. ;)
