Forest wet trails

Last Sunday we went on a ride in the forest and yes the trails were wet.  We didn't have time to go down to the canal trail, and it was breezy so we figured because of the the time constraint and that it would be windy and cold on the lake that we would stay in the forest.  We did find many trails that we could go on...up beginners hill, go to the right, stay on the hour loop, thru the mud puddles, cut off on the trail that goes to alligator rock, small trail to elephant rock and back home.  I wanted Skippy in the lead for a while and I figured that we would trot some, but the rider didn't feel it was safe enough to trot.  We did get a good walk out of them.  Skippy likes to power walk and Zoe is starting to do the same.  This ride was much the same as last weekend and maybe because of that the horses seemed calmer.  We met 2 other riders on the way home.  I tried the trot up out of the cow pasture between the rocks that Zoe doesn't like.....and she still doesn't like them.  She tried to slow down to a walk but I wouldn't let her...it took alot of kicking tho.  Probably won't get mid week rides in...it's supposed to rain.  Only 3.98 miles, max speed 8.39, avg speed 4.29
