Standing On Higher Ground
Riding through the snow covered woods in the darkness gave me one big surprise. The horses maintained their footing and the lead horses trotted along the safest part of the trail even though they could not see the ground. In the recesses of their minds they had memorized where to take a hard left and which side of the path was the safest for jumping. To a human eye the trail all looked the same, just a blanket of snow. The horses could feel their way along the familiar sections of trail.
