Take a Hike!

Training a horse is quite a hike. The long and widing path leads towards the sumit of a very tall mountain of achievement. You cannot just pick up a backpack and a water bottle and take off into the woods, expecting everything to work according to plan. You need experience. You need a partner. Your horse is your partner in this hike. Together the two of you desensitize yourselves to the wilds of nature, and train yourselves for the physical challenge of taking on this rocky road. As the days go on, both you and the horse find the hike is becoming easier as you both start to bond with one another more and more. Each twist and turn in the path presents a new obstical, and each new obstacle brings you closer together. Before you know it, you ride out of the forest upon your new best friend into the clearing at the top of this large mountain, and all thats left is to do is enjoy the view. The work is now behind you, and you and your horse can now enjoy the rest of the journey.
