Trail-riding with TC
![]() |
'TC' is short for Thoroughbred/Clydesdale, but his registered name is 'Power Broker'. TC was foaled in 1993 but has never had rigorous training barring lessons learned on trails and while fox hunting. I purchased TC in the winter of early 2001 and have consequently done a lot of indoor work on both jumping and some dressage with him. It appears that TC finds these new and different disciplines easy but at times trying/boring but he is getting better. Riding on the trails is both exciting and exhilarating, and is a completely different cup of tea for TC all the jumping and dressage has actually made riding on the open trails safer since we can now communicate effectively, even at breathtaking speed. |
