Another nice ride

I rode part of the
South Boulder Trail today with Donna, who rode her
gorgeous draft cross gelding. I rode Kelton and even
did a little trotting and cantering with her, which
I've never done with her on the trail before. It was
fun! We also played around a little in the creek.
Kelton had no trouble going in, walking around, and
having a sip, but she also likes to splash a lot
(which I hope doesn't mean she'll try to roll!)
The trail has lots of bridges and lots of joggers and bikers. Kelton doesn't blink an eye at the people or bikes, but she had to give some of the bridges a good sniffing. Then she'd go across (in the lead). She was also a little cautious about going through a highway underpass, but did just fine. For a horse that hasn't been out on trails in over two years, she's doing great!
I put photos of Kelton in the parking lot and by the creek on her photos page.
