RallyValley Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Not many places do trail rides anymore and none I can think of that are insured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I've only ridden a horse twice in my life, and it was the most terrifying experience as I had no idea what I was doing! But for some reason, I would love to know how to ride a horse as I still consider it fun... even though walking like you have something shoved up your bum for the following few days after riding isn't the best feeling Not sure where I saw it advertised and it was a while back, but there was like a horse riding camping trip thing where you ride all day, camp out, ride the next day, etc. Would be fun!

RallyValley Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I know everyone is going to think I am an idiot but Lincoln loves tracking smells on the ground and I figure instead of telling him off I will do some training with it so he knows it's appropiate in certain times andnot others. Anyway the point of that is anyone know a place I can buy a tracking harness in Perth without having to order online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RallyValley Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Blackdog make some I think, anyone up there you know of that stocks Blackdog? They might have the car harness but not sure if they would sell the tracking ones. If I can't find one I have a horse halter I can make do with.

mirawee Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Most trail riding places in Perth have shut down to insurance. The only one I really know of now is this mob: http://www.academyequestrian.com.au/ although there may be others still :D RS, a good friend and I went on a ride up in the Snowy Mountains in Victoria (Man from Snowy River country ) :D Was meant to be a camp out thing but since we ended up being on the only people we just rode out from base each day which was fine for us as it meant we had better beds and real toilets and showers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab_Rat Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Most trail riding places in Perth have shut down to insurance. The only one I really know of now is this mob: http://www.academyequestrian.com.au/ although there may be others still :DRS, a good friend and I went on a ride up in the Snowy Mountains in Victoria (Man from Snowy River country ) :D Was meant to be a camp out thing but since we ended up being on the only people we just rode out from base each day which was fine for us as it meant we had better beds and real toilets and showers That would be a lovely holiday - trekking through the snowy mtns! When I was a teenager, all I wanted to do was go on one the riding holidays down near Pemberton with the Muirs - a week or so out moving cattle. Dont know if they still do it but I would still love to do it. That or the big muster theyre having around now over east. You get to ride along with the muster during the day, but then unfortunately get taken back to "camp" at night time. Wheres the fun in that?? Would much rather rough it under the stars and eat whatever the real drovers are eating! And it costs the earth - mostly insurance I suppose! Strange, since our darling old mare was PTS about three months ago, all Ive wanted to do is go riding!! Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 A group ride would have been awesome - i can't believe how many have shut down now I went riding with my MIL only a few years ago. She got off her horse to lead it cos it didn't want to go in the right direction, and she couldn't get back on!! Mirawee that "bitza" is just beautiful Mas I am sorry to hear about the ear infection - i am sure it will clear up soon. don't forget it still really is a season change so this time of year is tough on all of the poor allergy dogs (spartan is struggling at the moment to get on top of his ear infection). Valley contact the tracking club i think they sell harnesses directly. They have a website with contact details. I really want to try tracking with Ari but because i missed the tracking days cos she was in season, and now she is having a phantom and can't concentrate for more than a few seconds, i can't really give it a go. When her phantom is over I might start some practice with her so Valley maybe we should get together and givee it a go?then one of us can be a tracklayer.

SparkyTansy Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Ner Ner RS - you saw how useless Ari was!! she is way too distracted to contemplate retrieving i think... and battling seasons etc is just a pain in the butt. honestly i wish i had more time!

Tiggy Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Banjo likes to track to . When I get home from somewhere he'll come out and track my exact route I took from the car and sniff along the ground right up to my feet :D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
