My friend and I grew up riding together and had several horses. We both trained and rode for years, we were very experienced riders. She was riding a horse she sold to a friend to help her out one day, the horse tripped in the arena and fell. My friend was thrown into the ground on her head. She had to be air lifted to a trauma hospital where it was confirmed she had suffered a traumatic brain injury. Thank God after a year in the hospital and many more in recovery, shes able to do most everything. She can’t ride anymore but she takes care of all her own needs and is doing well considering. She was not wearing a helmet. A helmet is like a safety belt in a car, it may not save you from everything but you stand a better chance at staying safe when you wear one. I’m glad you made the decision to wear yours. Hope you had a blast.

[@catherineniew7457]

Sad story but good advice for safety in horsemanship!!

[@Ilbbrief]

“I want my brains to remain where they belong.” Note to self…🤣🤣🤣

[@rtyria]

That looked like a lot of fun. Glad you were able to bring us along for the ride.

[@bettybay2181]

Wonderful, as a child reading Margarite Henry's books and Walter Farley's too, Arabians were my favorite. As an adult I was late (46) getting my own horse and my skills made me think that Arabians might be too much for me. In heaven I will ride them all.

[@annamcgeagh8104]

I got my first Arab at 45. On my 3rd at 72😅Arabs are the best. You can find one that will be perfect.

[@lydiahiott6164]

That was so much fun!! Thank you for taking us along.♥️♥️

[@rhondag8128]

This was so soothing to watch. I appreciate your kindness and concern for Scout. You did great.

[@ole9186]

Beautiful! Nothing compares to going for a boot through the fields this time of year. Thanks for taking us along. Gorgeous country.

[@janetesser6929]

Yeah! Helmets are important. Most 1/2 Arabians are saddlebred mix. They cross for size and flash. The Arabian shows recognize 1/2 as there is a registry.

[@DavidRobertson-pk4ld]

Loved Scout…and Dakota. The ride looked like it was wonderful. I’m so glad you enjoyed yourself CC, and were able to escape some of the grief you’ve been experiencing recently. Thanks for taking me along with you on this adventure!

[@KeePenne]

Thanks for taking us with you on your trail ride. Enjoyed the amazing views! ❤

[@Suelynngrr]

Lovely video, CC! So glad you could enjoy your outing. Scout is fabulous. Thoroughly enjoyed the ride. 😀

[@AngelaGiordano-wq7jq]

She is beautiful. Enjoy.

[@ldirk58601]

Who ever put on that ride did a fantastic job! So cool! I sure miss having horses after watching this.I vote for you to get a horse you can ride all day on. You have a lot of wonderful projects but having one that just gives you the feel of riding and relaxing with others and not working at it would be so good. As a horse to keep you focused on what your working towards with the others. I loved this whole day and I wasn't even there. A heart mending day. Happy Trails CC!

[@carylhalfwassen8555]

Absolutely CC should have a horse like Frisco Bill in his prime.

[@coweenuh453]

Yes!!!!!!!!!! I would love to see Ziggy get to that point, but I hope she gets a solid, trusty ride

[@candicerunyon2762]

PS, yes, you deserve your own steady, youngish, well trained go getter horse. I say go for it!

[@Da-v3-p4x]

Thanks for the tag-a-long. I really enjoyed the scenery and your monologue. it's been years since I last rode a horse ... I found my legs were no longer capable of 'bowing'. The scent of a horse and a cut field of hay and sunshine ... it is just about the perfect combination. I'm sitting here, feeling a smile across my face and I can almost smell your horse, the hay and feel the sun. Thanks ... this was outstanding!

[@peggyrose204]

loved listening to the saddles squeaking, brought back great memories of when I used to ride.❤❤

[@denisedavis6596]

What a fun day for you!! Scout was so pretty and it was great to see you having fun. I hope Ziggy’s back feels better soon. 💛

[@lostribe5130]

Love Scout. So nice and light-footed.

[@highroad3580]

Follow your bliss! No reason you can’t rehab horses and have a couple of nice riding horses. That’s what I did and loved every minute. Lovely vid.

[@gigi3242]

So glad you were able to go and have fun. Scout and all the other horses were beautiful. Thanks for the video. Have a wonderful week.

[@lindag.barclay2109]

So happy for you to be able to enjoy riding!!!❤

[@marge2548]

My, that was awesome. I'd asbolutely love to visit Montana one day. Thank you for taking us along!

[@jimschoon2287]

Go for it. Spend some time on yourself and "your" horse. I don't think that is selffish. So glad you got this ride in and it was so special. Thank you, Susan

[@PamelaHarding-l7f]

Just time to make a nice cup of tea and settle down to watch 🎉 ❤

[@lazymp9046]

That was fabulous. What a treat. I learn so much from your trail rides. Hope Ziggy feels better. 🐎 ❤❤❤❤

[@freerangemaker]

Thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. So much love and gratitude for your beautiful life, your heart, your courage, your generosity and sharing stories so freely.

[@pretzel2272]

What a beautiful day, and what a beautiful horse! 🐎❤ I am so happy that you finally got to enjoy some wellness for the soul, you deserve it so much! 🌞❤❤❤

[@JazzyBlues79]

What a great video of the trail ride, CC! Scout was a cutie! I couldn't get enough of her ears and how they perked up and "scanned" around. So cute! You sounded like you enjoyed yourself and I am happy you did and took us along. :) Dakota and Prairie were great companions, too, on the second leg. Great views of the rolling grassy hills, too! Thanks and Cheers!

[@luvmypaso]

What a fun day! Scout and Dakota were amazing!! So happy you were able to make it to the poker run and have some fun. Hope Ziggy's back recovers soon and thank you for taking us along! Great ride

[@catherineniew7457]

I totally am agreeing, luvmypaso!!❤🐴🐎💕

[@freedomwalksinbeauty]

Great to see you getting out and about. What a treat to go on a trail with the perky Scout through such gorgeous scenery.

[@socalreader850]

You and Scout made a great team and you both have a new friend ❤

[@matts_.4494]

On that first gallop you took it transported me back many years to when I used to ride a thoroughbred mare that my mother rescued after it flunked out of racing. What I like best about your channel though is following the progress of the horses you rehabilitate and the techniques you apply to get results. Thank you for producing these wonderful videos.

[@jaysmith8199]

That was wonderful 😊 The scenery, Scout, weather and the happiness in your voice - even if your butt was a cheese grater by the end 😄 How sweet of you and Dakota's human to ride with the mustang and her rider ❤

[@karen4253]

Scout was such a good girl and the scenery was just beautiful | Thank you for the ride-a-long really enjoyed it | look forward to an update on your property search and the next video 🏇

[@catherineniew7457]

Yes, me too and the ride and scenery and narration was perfect for my Saturday evening relaxation💕🥕🐴❤️

[@carolynellis8329]

What a beautiful and fun ride! Thank you for sharing with all of us. I’m glad you were able to have such a special day! Take CC. ❤

[@heartlesskitten88]

I'm so glad you had a great time. Scout looks like an amazing horse, Arabians are just on another level.

[@freddiehansen7324]

Oh you were flying!! What a fun time!

[@Woodlawn22]

That was great! So glad you and Scout were a good match for a day of competition and fun.

[@joannewatson4040]

FUN!! Felt like I was riding along with ya,my legs hurt🤗

[@Puddingoodin]

Gorgeous camera work, clean, sharp and very stable. Nice work

[@birgittahansenstern1880]

I absolutely Love the sound of the saddle even though my heart almost hurt from longing riding a horse again, it’s many years now since. And Scout, what a lovely horse, and love her beautiful ears. Many thanks for this video, even though my heart almost broke. ❤😊❤

[@ninakaiser2930]

So glad you had so much fun on the trail! Scout‘s ears 😍 And the scenery was stunning, wow! It was so kind of all of you to escort the rider with her Mustang.

[@revinakeener7299]

thanks for the ride!!!!

[@dennyj9759]

Thanks!

[@julieharrington342]

Looking forward to this 🎉

[@katharinatrub1338]

What a joy to go on this trip with you CC I imagined so well the fun of trotting and galloping on those fields and would have loooved to be with you guys! Letting the horse go is fastest it can get, we call "courrir ventre a terre" meaning litterally "running belly on the floor" or "belly to the ground" ; )) and those fields were perfect for this type of 'letting loose'

[@pretzel2272]

What a great description! 🏇❤

[@annmarie3520]

That was great! The horses were wonderful and the scenery was fabulous! Glad you had a fun day!😘❤️🙏🏻✨

[@TheDoWgsHouse]

great. ziggy is a great looking horse.

[@julierutkowski7654]

what a blast! she looks like she was super fun.

What a day!!!!!❤❤

Who's faster than Ziggy, now?

What a beautiful area to ride.

[@kimstefanko3122]

great content, beautiful scenery and an amazing trail horse, Scout is beautiful. I am so thrilled that you had an awesome day out.

[@neesiedavis4062]

How fun!!

Thank you.! Wonderful ride, glad i was able to enjoy it.🐴🐴⭐️⭐️

[@oscarwindham6016]

WOW! What scenery!

[@jessiep2931]

Wow! This is so beautiful and Scout is awesome! I’m glad you had such a fun day ❤

[@KalamazooKandy]

It was fun watching you have fun! Scout looked like a blast to ride. I had a Morgan-Arabian that could go all day...back when I could go all day. Glad you brought us along on your adventure!

[@peggyann5735]

So glad he's out got to get out and enjoy yourself❤

[@peggyann5735]

Oops! Glad YOU got out and had some fun and relived some happy memories! Thanks for sharing! ☺️

[@eliseleonard3477]

What a joy this was to watch! It is so much fun to see the trail from your POV. ❤️❤️❤️

[@nancyward447]

Thank you for recoding this so I was able to imagine riding along with you. Grew up in Wyoming and miss the mountains, streams, big sky… still ride in Ca but what you showed on your ride made me homesick. You are a very special person and I love to watch you your dog cat and rescue horses. Thank you so much.

[@myramoran8170]

Really enjoyed the ride with you.

[@moppeliini6614]

Absolutely Beautiful!! Thank you!!

[@anneli1735]

❤ Yessssss exactly reminding you again why you own horses ❣️ Obviously you badly need your “exercises” too - not just your horses 😉 Would love to see you taking one of your youngsters for longterm ❤

[@tehluhlah]

Beautiful mare you got to play with, I'd definitely say the other half is saddlebred just from her movement. Hope Ziggy feels better soon

[@maxinerowe2925]

Beautiful

[@ljensen9364]

What a fun day!!!!

[@cs6565]

You do a wonderful job with your horses. Couldn’t you pick one of them for more intense work so you can ride your own. Ziggy is older, you have some younger, lovely horses!! Beautiful video!

[@Ms.W529]

Love your videos. Hope Ziggy feels better soon.

[@wolfeyessouls7965]

Chuckle, now you're understanding Arabians ❤. Scout was cute reading the signs as you traveled. Smart girl..I hope you get to ride her more often to get you in shape for Zig man..Tucker saddles are amazing saddles 😍. What a beautiful countryside to wander through ❤

[@Cristy-nn9pb]

That sky was just beautiful

[@saskiabolton-wq8wo]

Thanks

[@saldia67]

Fun to watch! Wish I could still ride. Congrats!

[@candicerunyon2762]

If she was a standard bred-arabian, that is an amazing mix as standard breds are fast movers. What a fun ride, in my dreams. . . thanks for taking us along.👍💕

[@laveniajohnson2283]

Standardbreds can also be tough sturdy horses. I would love an Arab/Standardbred cross! I think this mare is probably a Saddlebred cross though, from what I could see of her head. Arabs cross well with most other breeds. I had a Tennessee Walking horse/Arab cross gelding who was the best horse ever!

[@kathleensullivanaprn75]

Thanks for the Montana scenery and a beautiful adventure !❤❤❤

[@lizpetruzzi7700]

I loved seeing you do something fun with friends! I don’t think it’s selfish to nurture and develop your own horses. You rescued all of them and work tirelessly on their behalf. Ziggy is an awesome trail horse - I have always hoped you keep him💕 Thank you for sharing your ride and beautiful Montana!!

[@Aiwad-er7sf]

Love it🐎🤩😍♥️🥰🖐️👍🙏

[@pamelamann9293]

Looks like a great ride.

[@Faerysong1]

I've had two Arabians in my life, and both were such Awesome trail horses. Dancer, Shamus and I were great partners. I miss them sorely. With fibromyalgia and at 73, I'm afraid my trail riding days are behind me. But I have wonderful memories of my boys. They started out wanting go places, and came back the same way. Both were very intelligent, and very easily trained. Both were stallions around 4 yrs of age, at purchase, and because I didn't have a place to keep a stallion I had to have both gelded. Neither were broke when I got them. Shamus had had a saddle on for about a week, before I picked him up. Both were very smart and easily picked up anything you asked of them. I miss them.😔💙

[@deirdreshaw2761]

You should read the book,"Drinkers Of The Wind". It's awesome, and I read it as a child, falling in love with Arabians. Along with, "King Of The Wind," of course!

[@zszs123]

I used raise Arab cutting and roping horses used to cross them also with mustangs and standardbreds. They are excellent all around horses...They can run forever and are just excellent horses.

[@leanneadams2549]

Man that looks like fun ! And by the sound of your voice I can tell you had fun and I’m so happy that you did ! ❤️🐴❤️ Hope Ziggy is ok- I know you’ll let us know - just hope he’s not hurting

[@Randy-ve2wv]

She really reaches out and covers ground in that trot !!

[@1striperon]

Scout seems like the perfect horse for you, CC. We’ll see if you look at some Arabian crosses in future auctions. Love the scenery. Thanks for sharing.

[@brigitasehgal2937]

It's not hard to fall in love with Arabians, they are wonderful horses.🥰

[@wafflewarriorthe3rd]

My first horse as a teenager was a hotblooded little arabian gelding. He had a flying gait and an incredible amount of speed and energy. Looking back he was too much to handle, but I never met a smarter and more loyal animal than him.

[@janesmith5871]

what a nice mare. :)

[@Puddingoodin]

Super cool video!!! Beautiful!

[@lauramullen4702]

WOOO HOOO! What a fun ride! I had a registered half Arabian when I was young. He was 16 hands. Such wonderful memories of riding him bareback through forest trails....wild and free. Thank you CC. Your channel is wonderful!

[@donnaanderson3527]

endurance saddle for Zig, no no more sore back. my arabs hate western saddles, do like australian though , you did great and the view was lovely, you are sooo lucky for all kinds of reasons

[@learobinson4450]

Arabians have one less vertebrae than other breeds. Western saddles are designed to fit stock breeds & are too big. English saddles are usually meant for Sport breeds & Warmbloods so they don’t distribute the rider’s weight correctly. There are Arabian saddles designed specifically for the breed. They come in Western & all types of English styles. Full blooded Arabians need these Arabian saddles, not smaller saddles designed for breeds that have backs with one more vertebrae. If she’s going to ride Ziggy she needs to get a Western style Arabian saddle.

[@annamcgeagh8104]

@@learobinson4450 depends on the saddle. I have a Broken Horn and a Circle Y. Both fit me and my Arab perfectly. Actually, most everyone in our barn has the same. Both seem to fit women better too.

[@TheCleverCowgirl]

He's got one, a little too snug for my booty right now!

[@cherylahmat8909]

Yay you're back❤hope you are well🎉

[@caroline356]

Beautiful 🐴🐎and love those mountains!

[@Mysla81]

I loved this video! I think you really needed this ride after everything

[@carola7893]

I'm riding a young cross bred gelding with no ground manners.. ugh . We are going back to basics!!

[@JoeLinux2000]

These riding videos are really nice. They are so beautiful, they make me cry. When I was in college I worked in Yellowstone two summers, and I was also in the Peace Corps in Micronesia after that. Subsequently I sailed to Tahiti from Honolulul on my own 36' sloop two different times. I have had many nice experiences but this type of video is really tops. I would love to be able to be out there with the group on a great horse like Scout. You should get a younger Arabian "Frisco Bill" It's nice to be able to drive a Cadillac. It's important to do these things while you're young. I doubt Ziggy could keep up with Scout. However, Ziggy would probably be an ideal horse for me.

[@ellenwheat3608]

Fabulous video.

[@grannieannie1371]

I used to ride my Aunties Arabian and she was so different to my Welsh cob cross. They carry their head higher and she was always looking around. They're a lot of fun although they can be a little sassy.

[@giovannalepore5946]

Nice endurance mare

[@laurakenney100]

I think Scout has a bit of racehorse in her! I'm so happy you had a great day with friends and beautiful horses.

[@loriroberts1034]

Nice ride.
