Trail Riding in the Mountains a longer vid
December 5th, 2009
On my awesome horse an adopted BLM Mustang…. adopt a wild horse if you can and tell your representatives that you do not support bills that allow the killing or slaughter of wild horses, or population control methods other than adoption!
In this one, we ride for a few minutes until we come to a real nice spot. I try to capture the surroundings as much as possible. Was holding the camera in this series of vids.
Duration : 0:3:47

Beautiful scenery. Did you adopt him from a slaughter house? If so, I am very proud that someone understands what slaughter horses go through everyday and that they need to be taken out of the kill houses.

His name is Sunshine, he had the name when I got him and he’s about 8 now. I agree 100% about the halter, just makes more sense, especially when trail riding. Thanks for the comment!

Hi, I just came …
Hi, I just came across your video. The scenery is just stunning as is the horse. Looks like it knows the mountains well. I also see that some people were getting touchy with halter under bridle on your horse. I ride that way too with a young mare and it’s very useful. Who needs to fuss and hold their horse in bridle trying to put a halter on and correct their horse too late? Many trail ride stables use it as well. Easy fast tying when needed, etc. How old is your horse? Name?

Tends to be other riders out on the trail, but always best to not go riding alone (as I tend to). He has never dumped me, but the last time someone else was on him, they got dumped and he was off like lightning.

Looks great fun, …
Looks great fun, however riding out alone like that I hope for safety’s sake you tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return– just in case something happens! Having read most of your comments, I feel even more strongly about that. My Arabian mare goes like that, altertly with her head up a lot, yet she is totally tuned into her rider. Halter under bridle is no issue for me, makes it easy to rest stop and let the horse graze too.

I was riding in the Verdugos that day. That is the mountain range north of Burbank, CA. which is outside of the National Forest boundaries, but it is a natural wilderness area (though unfortunately not protected as such).

It’s good not to put extreme faith into leather bridles, reins, and cinches as they can break! (My cinch is nylon). Another advantage to riding with a halter on under the bridle, is being able to dismount and discipline (by that I mean do some ground work when you have a horse thats acting up).

Well, mecate reins …
Well, mecate reins are good, and yes that gives you a lead. As for using a hackamore, I wouldn’t try to make the switch just yet. I did lose a chicago screw once on a trail ride and thats not a good thing, although having it go unnoticed that a chicago screw had loosed is a failure on my part. It was not noticeable when I tacked up. An equipment failure such as that can definately get you into trouble and having a halter and lead on can be a literal lifesaver.

This is, however, a matter of opinion and taste (perhaps much like wearing white shoes after labor day), and not really a big issue. Just don’t turn up at a Buck Brannaman clinic with your halter under the bridle
