A slow, mostly walking 3 hr trail ride on the Monocacy trail. The access trail had a couple scary spots, plus Wally and I crossed our first bridge with a pair of terrifying (to him) dogs on the other end so that was an experience. We were all exhausted by the end, and I'm covered in scratches, but otherwise happy. Poor wally stocked up on and is a bit lame, so he's getting a few well deserved days off.Wheres Waldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15814229074177642851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754604249412355215.post-85480901138450491392014-04-02T20:11:36.142-05:002014-04-02T20:11:36.142-05:00Date: 04/01

Wally was great, but the saddle definitely pinches him. Between the poles class and the crossrail class I switched to a wider saddle with a no-bow wrap under the pommel and he was much happier. It isn't perfect, so I'll need a new saddle. On the plus side, I did a course of 10 jumps!!Wheres Waldohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15814229074177642851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754604249412355215.post-35203982035401278902014-02-05T23:39:29.294-06:002014-02-05T23:39:29.294-06:00Date: 02/03

We're stuck inside until the snow and ice melt, literally can't wait. I'll be getting a new saddle on trial next Wednesday, hopefully by then we'll be able to get back out on the trails and get some more miles!
