A trip to Elba Equestrian Center

Nova was accustomed to terrain around the house, dirt roads, vehicles going past her, her pond in the back yard, and trails that we had found over the summer, but now it was time to get her out on a real trail. We live pretty close to Elba Equestrian Center which we had found online so we planned a day trip to go trailriding. The experience was amazing! The trails had many creeks, waterholes, a couple lakes, and a lot of hills and tight paths. There were several instances Nova refused to move forward but with consistency and control we moved through the trails actually leading a lot of the time. The terrain was some of the hardest I'd personally been on and even made me nervous at times while looking to a dropoff to your left and right that would send you plummeting down 500 ft. We had a great time though and I really look forward to returning there before the year is up, I can't wait to get our own horse trailer!!
