Trail Riding in the Mountains a longer vid

On my awesome horse an adopted BLM Mustang.... adopt a wild horse if you can and tell your representatives that you do not support bills that allow the killing or slaughter of wild horses, or population control methods other than adoption!

In this one, we ride for a few minutes until we come to a real nice spot. I try to capture the surroundings as much as possible. Was holding the camera in this series of vids.

Hi, I just came across your video. The scenery is just stunning as is the horse. Looks like it knows the mountains well. I also see that some people were getting touchy with halter under bridle on your horse. I ride that way too with a young mare and it's very useful. Who needs to fuss and hold their horse in bridle trying to put a halter on and correct their horse too late? Many trail ride stables use it as well. Easy fast tying when needed, etc. How old is your horse? Name?

His name is Sunshine, he had the name when I got him and he's about 8 now. I agree 100% about the halter, just makes more sense, especially when trail riding. Thanks for the comment!

Looks great fun, however riding out alone like that I hope for safety's sake you tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return-- just in case something happens! Having read most of your comments, I feel even more strongly about that. My Arabian mare goes like that, altertly with her head up a lot, yet she is totally tuned into her rider. Halter under bridle is no issue for me, makes it easy to rest stop and let the horse graze too.

Tends to be other riders out on the trail, but always best to not go riding alone (as I tend to). He has never dumped me, but the last time someone else was on him, they got dumped and he was off like lightning.

Looks like the Angeles National Forest. Where was this taken?

[ximustbeinsaynex]

I was riding in the Verdugos that day. That is the mountain range north of Burbank, CA. which is outside of the National Forest boundaries, but it is a natural wilderness area (though unfortunately not protected as such).

Beautiful place, I live where it's nice and flat, dry, brown, and open. Trail riding isn't much of a thrill anymore):

Riding with the halter under the bridle is fine, I do it incase I take a break so I can take my horses bridle off so she can be more comfortable, and I would rather not tie her by her reins, I've seen bad things happen. Some things are more important than looks. But anyways, nice horse :) I almost adopted a blm mustang in April, but I fell in love with a Paint colt instead. I hope to adopt one someday though :)

Beautiful scenery. Did you adopt him from a slaughter house? If so, I am very proud that someone understands what slaughter horses go through everyday and that they need to be taken out of the kill houses.

You can always drive somewhere with ur horse in a trailer to go on an overnight mountain ride!
