I haven't done it as much as I would like but since it is nice and dry around here an you don't have to worry about marring up to your arse everywhere. There is nothing like it though. Ride and talk and you can hear everything happening as it happens and we rode right up to the bay and then right up to the catch. Broke horses are highly recommended.
I know what you mean about the broke horses, I was riding what i considered a broke mare one day, riding along at a pretty good speed, and all of a sudden she started side steppin, brakin, just plain boogerin bad. Im tryin to figure out whats goin on stay in the saddle too. lol Come to find out there were a bunch of tame hogs in a fence, that i couldnt see, for some bushes, but she dang sure knew they were there.
Most horses i have been around, booger bad at the sight or smell of a hog, let alone a bunch of dogs barkin, and pigs squilin.
