IN THE SADDLE

Recreation in the saddle fills a want that is not met by other recreations. The wheel encounters many obstacles in rough, stony, mountainous country; a canoe loses the finest or wildest pl aces, unless in the Adirondacks;  Carriage-riding is devoid of the desired exercise; walking would hit the mark, if it were not too slow and exhausting; but to the horseman almost every pathway is accessible, the unbridged stream is a pleasure. The exercise is full, though not exhausting, and, taking all the most attractive portions of the country into account,  here is open to him the greatest possible variety of pleasant experiences.

~ Plan your ride carefully. Plan a ride time based on past ride times, weather, trail conditions and the state of conditioning of your horse. Ride to your plan, not to what other horses are doing!
