'We aren't going anywhere': Trail riders hold onto community as Austin changes rapidly

[@gotrandy]

Horses really are healers. As a white person, I never knew this side of black heritage existed. Yes, definitely keep up this tradition! Get those kids onto a horse immediately. And you've certainly chosen the right breed...the Tennessee Walking horse/racking horse/single footer and even off track Standardbreds. There is nothing like a locked-in gaited horse. Just get on and FLY! Who can possibly be depressed when you are on the back of an amazing animal that will happily and smoothly carry you away from all your worries. Great horses, great family, friends, food and music. Now THAT is what builds a great community. Many many blessings to all!

[@brendahammock7215]

I totally agree, my horse kept me going after my husband died. I was severely depressed but she had to be fed/ watered 2,x a day. In the past when I had problems, I always rode. Always felt happy by the end of my ride.

[@emilyivey9349]

What a great video. I love that you all have a heart for the younger generation and use your horses to make that connection. Horses are healing creatures.

[@brendahammock7215]

This is a great video, really enjoyed the riders expressing how they feel and what's important. Talking about so many positive things. Friends, teaching children, love of their horse, having a great time. And like the young lady rider said, making people more aware of history of past and present black riders. I love all the videos of trail rides. Keep going.

[@yoshisaba]

This was well documented! Also, it was awesome to see them do a complete 180° from the lives they previously lived. They found their peace !

[@OVANDOJC]

This was a great piece. All of the video used here was so beautiful to see.

That is exactly how I started riding as a little girl. Being placed on top of a horse and walked around. Let me tell you all.....I made a career out it. I rode racehorses professionally for 15 years.

[@kamebrooks2732]

Keep riding!!!🐎

[@brendahammock7215]

Nothing is better than a good horse, riding is great therapy.

[@filamrider]

Good job... I ride my stang out here in Alice Texas. as a Filipino American ranching it's nice riding in the morning around the ranch.... I grew up in Oakland CA so I know how it feel being a city boy but I always had horse in the Philippines since I was 3 yrs old.. So brodahz and sistahz good job leading the turn around from drugs to riding. ✌✌

This is so wonderful to see. All inner cities should have stables. All inner city kids should have contact with horses. Prisoners should be in equine programs. Horses can change lives and stop crime and teach responsibility and trust.

More and more people are going back to country life, which is awesome. I think it's healthy. I don't think God meant for us to be in such an insane rush that the cities promote. I think he wants us to see his handiwork in nature. And what better way than on a horse!

A man on my street accused me of feeding his horse cuz his horse always came to me . Anyway I have a dream to one day go on. Trail ride and ride a horse

[@brendahammock7215]

Celeste Nicole, I hope someday you get a horse or at least ride. I started begging for a pony when I was 3 years old. Finally got one when I was 15yr. old. Had horses ever since.

[@anitabarton9849]

I love this....but please don't ride these horses for any length of time on the pavement. It is very damaging to their hooves, even if they wear shoes. The concussion can cause a condition called road founder, please research it. Thanks, God Bless

[@ratherbwithhorses]

@@kamebrooks2732 they only care about their own feelings. They don't care about the horse. They need to ruin joy, the joy some humans can't contain when they live with horses. This joy is what really hurts them. If these horse haters had their way none of us would own horse, work horses, race or jump horses. There deliberate ignorance wants horses made irrelevant and set them free , relegated to extinction. Imagine in NYC the horses are temperature controlled, but they should be free at the same time, so there is no logic. They just really want everything horse deleted.
