WW: My Childhood Trails

Last week after teaching, I drove by the trails of my childhood for some nostalgia. It prompted me to make Kate promise me to come with me and ride on these trails with TC and maybe Flounder so that I could tell her stories about these trails.

It was great to see them and remember what it was like to have horses in a very different way (a private home where I trail rode to the local barn to ride). Things have changed in that area so much, but I still remember it all so vividly.

This rock was at the bottom of this trail, so
every time the horses passed it, they knew we
were about to pick up the canter so they got
excited about it

When I was 17, I snuck onto this person's property and jumped
that fence with Larkin

One of the cantering spots

This is the lower pasture of my childhood barn with a beautiful
view of the bay

The upper pasture, the fence is breaking but that's okay because
there's no horses here anymore

Looking back toward the (now vacant) barn

Looking over at the barn we would trail ride to

I cantered up this hill a LOT

There's a large circle trail at the top of this, kind of the size of
a round pen, I used to canter there a ton too

I'm totally excited to haul up here and take TC on these trails. I already know where I want to go, I just need everything to dry out first!
