I took the IRH out for a quick spin today. A longer ride would have been nice, but the ride we had wasn't bad at all. Since the horse never knows how big the ride is that we're going on, it doesn't really matter that we did less than we'd planned on. Besides, a twenty-minute ride has almost as much useful learning experience as an hour ride does, if they're both away-from-home rides.
