Some of these trails weren’t even trails. Just us tromping through the woods. I rode down and up super steep hills, and going down them was awful. Going up was the best, especially when I was told by my instructor to let the horse I was on go at the pace he wanted up the more challenging ones. Never thought I’d canter through the woods lol. The whole thing reminded me of where I grew up. My mom would tell me to go outside and play until dinner and I’d just go off into the woods and be feral for a while. I felt a wonderful nostalgia the whole ride today.

I’m absolutely exhausted now. My thighs are bruised too lol. So worth the pain though. It was absolutely gorgeous.
