Thank you for taking us along on Ziggy's beautiful adventure! My horse riding days were soo loong ago, now that I am an old lady. Makes me cry a little. Thank you! Thank you!

[@Ellie.12866]

This old lady's riding days are also over, but my ❤ for horses remains as strong as ever. Tears in my eyes too 😟

[@Suelynngrr]

Me too! :)

[@debbiemorris2644]

Joining the longing for those days club. Mine were predominantly in Utah, love western states although living in Virginia now. I chuckled at her mentioning her butt not being in riding condition lol. All my horsey muscles would be speaking up, but if I get a chance, even now I'd do it. Even 7 miles right now. Course I might be calling out of work the next day or so, but it'd be sooo wortth it. I do have horses next door so I can get mini horse fixes putting my nose in their neck. Ahhh that smell. They got watermelon treats yesterday too. I rode Arabians in Utah with a trainer. Owned one. Fun days. Never leaves us.

[@Saddlemomma]

Another old lady here. I used to ride in the mountains of VT. Miss those beautiful logging trails and all the wildlife.

​@@debbiemorris2644my name is Nickie, in my early 80s and wishing for one last ride. Miss those days in southern California when there was back country to ride in or the ocean close by to splash in. Rode an Arab for several years. She was a wonderful friend and a great ride.

[@nancychiavetta1351]

Someone is going to love having this good boy in their stable.😽

[@AlliWalker]

He seems like such a steadfast trail horse.

[@claireseyeviewonredbubble]

He's so elegant and gentle, such a lovely little horse

[@Bodiy]

I’ve trail rode for fifty years and every horse I’ve rode was scared of a stump and one of my horses was afraid of the same stump for years I think he liked to make a big deal of it😂

[@peggysmyth6110]

My mare would do the same

[@Midgimoo99]

lol We mostly rode on roadsides to get to a big open plateau where we let rip and my beautiful Anglo Arab would shy at the same huge rock 'Shying Rock' every time, but jump smaller ones, which were still big, no problem. My heart horse❤️

[@DeniseKalan-fn7bq]

I remember my brother's horse was so brave, but one day, she was scared to pass a pinecone. 😂

[@MsDormy]

Was there a demon in the stump? I think I’d get suspicious after the first few horse all shied at it!!!

[@Bodiy]

@@MsDormy The stump was shaped like a chair it had a high back a seat and four legs we rode by it for every day for ten years and every horse would eyeball it but my horse would jump sideways going out on the trail and start looking for it on the way back he was very broke had hours and hours of trail ridding and it was strange looking to me but I didn’t know if it really scared him he never spooked from anything else you just knew to hang on when his ears came up and his neck got stiff🤷‍♀️

[@dorothydecesare1607]

What a transition, from dealing with that resident Mare in the quarantine pen, to out for adventure on a magnificent trail ride in Montana! Thank you so much for inviting us along ! Ziggy is such a Prince, and you are the best thing that has happened to him, imo. 🐴🥰🦋💕

[@aevanhoutte]

Looks like the perfect mount for a young teen to join their family on trails-I am praying for a good happy home for him

[@traciehart4470]

I’m sure CC will make absolutely 100% certain, or as much as humanly possible anyway, to make sure that Ziggy DOES go to the VERY BEST HOME, FOR HIM. There’s absolutely no way anybody wants to see him back in the auction system again. I agree with you also, that I personally can see Ziggy with a younger teenager, possibly their first ever horse, and being loved AND spoiled as he most certainly deserves. Just imagine how he would be feeling? Being dotted on and smothered in so much love and care, with him teaching his new loving owner all about horsemanship and what it feels like to have AND love your horse. Sounds so perfect for him doesn’t it?♥️

[@janey1098]

@@traciehart4470I’m thinking he’s perfect for an older (57), well seasoned rider like myself! I owned horses for decades, considering selling and moving back to where I can have some around once more. I have no interest in training youngsters again. An older, calm horse like Zig is my ideal riding buddy!

[@traciehart4470]

@@janey1098 sounds absolutely perfect Janey. 🥰

[@ElleSimon-wi1cm]

@@janey1098 Exactly. So many says he'd be perfect for some teen. That's fine, but what happens to Ziggy when the teen grows up and heads off to college, jobs, marriage, etc? Even in high school, there are friends, parties, classes, boyfriends, and school work. How much time would this "young teen" have to spend with a horse once the novelty ends?

I would love for him to stay right where he is, but Clever Cowgirl has mentioned that her plans for Ziggy are to get him strong, healthy, and tuned up a bit, and then find him a loving home.

[@auldburdlaughin]

Oh my goodness, that took me back 35 years to when I used to lead groups hacking forestry trails in County Wicklow, Ireland. My 'pay' was riding whenever I wanted for free. I used to take a lovely Anglo-Arab and spend hours in the forest watching the wildlife and enjoying the scenery and the time alone with my favourite horse. The Wicklow Mountains can't compete with yours in Montana but at least we didn't have to worry about bears! Great memories. For a while now I've been hoping you would keep Ziggy, but seeing him here I think he would probably be happier with someone who could devote more time, getting him out and about - time you don't necessarily have to spend with just one horse. I no longer have horses in my life and I so enjoy your videos. I like the way you are with your animals and the way you show the hard work - and risks - that accompanies your lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your passion, it is much appreciated 😊 ❤ from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@joanneallender5643]

What a beautiful ride. It was a real treat to see the Montana mountains. Ziggy was in his element and knew how to keep you and himself safe. You have done a wonderful job restoring him to his former glory; I am sure he is very grateful.

[@annabelleb.8096]

He's gotten really handsome and his colors are more vibrant. He doesn't look tike the same horse that arrived to your stables. That was amazing scenery. ❤

[@Lynn-yz5uk]

Your Humor. In your description 🤭😆🤣 “We get a little lost”…. “Ziggy goes solo”…. “Do we make it out alive”… Hilarious. He is so so pretty. And you were so caring making sure he didn’t get overworked on this first trip.

[@wellnone9367]

What extraordinarily beautiful scenery - so vast and yet so pretty. I will watch this again for that. And above all, the darling Ziggy was SO good, alert, and happy. He seemed to enjoy it all immensely. Thank you for taking us along with you both.

[@heika5589]

This trail ride was magical; perfect horse, perfect weather, perfect landscape. Made my heart ache for days gone by. When I saw that you're riding in an unknown place with just a halter and lead rope, I thought you must be either incredibly confident or incredibly brave; I know it would never have occurred to me to do such a thing. I'm glad your "carcass" made it back home 🙂

[@user-qj8uc4tb8n]

It made me so happy that Ziggy justified the confidence CC placed in him when she took him out with just a halter and lead rope. What an excellent horse he is! They make a fine pair.

[@barbwire65]

You could tell Ziggy was himself. Something that he definitely needed.

[@amylombroz8925]

I had a white Arab for 16 years. Rode him at age28 on a 10 day Sierra camping trip. I brought m olasses to put in his water on long trailer rides.

He is so awesome. Thanks so much for the trail ride!

This video was so wonderful. I can't tell you how great it was to go down the trail looking between the ears of a grey Arab. I'm in my 70's now and had to give up my horses after 2 car wrecks the year I turned 30. I still miss it so much! Your trail was much like the ones I used to ride in the Washington Cascades. Did many trail miles on a grey Arab colt I started myself. This video really took me back!

[@alliedavidson4175]

It's sad that after a dude ranch is finished with their horses that they just send them to auction where they can be purchased by a kill buyer. It's very cold hearted and distressing that is the way they repay the service their horses give them and their guests. Ziggy still has so much to give. Your ride today was gorgeous and now I'm missing trail riding.

[@user-fi8lf8bs7p]

You are so kind to Ziggy -- my trail ride companions back in the early '60s were Native Americans -- their ponies were tough, really tough, and we negotiated Colorado glacier area with the grace of ballerinas.
