stjarni seems to like *interesting* riding, but a complicated cones course or a lot of turns and changes in a ring seems to entertain him as much as a trail ride does. he also however likes kids, and will go around happily in a circle while they do their stretches or whatnot. (if i do too much of that he gets bored.) me, i get that stupid "i'm ON A HORSIE!!!" smile no matter where i am, ring or trail, it's stjarni that makes me that happy not the surroundings! but the trail riding has been great for me to work on my balance, trusting my horse, and judging the terrain. so yes, i am definitely learning a lot from it!! --vicka
