This weekend I did a trail ride that was about 20 miles.
I am really amazed at how my mare did, I havent been riding a whole lot with all the rain we've had. I went out with a thoroughbred and a quarter horse. The running topic was wow she's such a nice horse for a saddlebred. For some things i keep my mouth shut.Which is always a topic when you mention that you have one. Then there is the scrunched up face or the pregnant pause lOL.
I grew up with arabs, and i always assumed that they were the only true endurance horses. Saddlebreds have changed my mind. I am looking forward to conditioning her to hopefully do competitive rides in the spring. Since i just got a horse trailer and have more options as to how i was to use her.
Another note of praise. after we got back to the barn. They all said she's not even tired looks like she got go for another 3 hours. She is making me proud.

That's awesome!

The more we get out there with our "crazy" Saddlebreds and show the rest of the horse world how talented they are OUTSIDE of the show ring the more people will come to our side!

I recently took my trusty 16 year old QH out on the trails - he's literally been there, done that - and I realized that I felt safer and more secure on my green 7 year old ASB.

Saddlebreds are thinking horses, and I like that.
