I haven't ridden in almost two weeks due to college exams and the peanut boy has started to neigh at me every time he sees me and paw when I'm in the tack room. I feel so bad for not working with him, even though he's got a nice turnout and some toys, but I also really love seeing this behavior, as it tells me how much he actually loves going on trails with me.
Last trail ride we were out for about two hours, but didn't gallop (only cantered a few steps as a reward, but he's unshod at the moment and the trails were frozen solid and hard so I couldn't let him go nuts) and this freaking dude refused to go home
I actually barely convinced him to turn to our street, and when we got to my house he tried to sneakily just continue going on, even though he knows treats and food await him at home.
Man, I just love how eager he is to go out and about and explore with me
