Bronzz Goes Exploring

Instead of going to the barn after a trail ride, Bronzz sometimes asks to detour around the upper pasture.

We get the mail, then explore the front yard before heading down the driveway to the barn.

Responses to this post on facebook told me that lots of other people let their horses explore, too. Letting them exercise their natural curiosity is not only good for their mental health; it's good for our relationships with them!
