He was very interested in some cows on the other side of the cattle guard by the parking area. They were very interested in us too. People-watching cows. :)
He flat-out refused to pose nicely for a picture.
That's a little better...
Pretty cool that I feel confident enough to be dorking with my cell phone and taking pictures on his second trail ride. :)
He really preferred to lead, on both rides so far. What a bold, brave boy. But we practiced following a lot today. At first he had his head in the air and his ears listening behind us, he was scared. But he got over that.
A long view, Gold Hill is the mountain on the left

Taking sign pics for navigational purposes, and a sweet side view of Rosie:
I'm so thrilled with this colt. He's so easy to ride! I can guide with my legs and neck rein for the most part, but when I want more finesse I direct rein. He rates really nicely too. What an awesome handle Keith put on him.
We went off-roading a bit and he really seemed to enjoy it. He kept trying to leave the trail after that, to go back into the brush. He had a little trouble going down a steep bank into a ditch, but that's just colt stuff.
Yay! Back on the trail and loving life. :D

What a nice horse he is, and the more miles even nicer!
That's a beautiful trail. I'm so jealous.
