Well I decided to take Hercules on one last trail ride before our trip to Texas. I really hope that I can bring him home from Texas with me but if not I know that he will make a fantastic horse for whoever ends up with him.

We decided to see how he would do leading the ride and though a little unsure he handled it all very well. We went up through "tire alley" and he was fantastic.

We also took him through his first on the trail water crossing and I was very pleased with how he did. He never tried to jump the stream just walked right through it.

After we stopped for a few minutes to let the horses drink we decided to head for home. There were some cows hanging out around the water trough and one calf in particular that was very interested in Hercules. So we let him check the cows out until he decided he really wanted to chase them and since they weren't our cows decided to head on home.
