First Ride with Bishop the rescued slaughter-bound Belgian Draft Horse

So here it is!!! What everyone always waits for. The first ride. This one... just he and I out on a trail away from the house and his friends. He did VERY well. Better than expected given that his rope halter didnt fit right therefore I didnt have "Proper" control of him. He did as asked and was very much a gentleman, but I think if given the opportunity, he could be quite a bit of fun. Just not on the 1st ride. We keep that simple and relaxing.

I'm going to wear a head camera next time. Some of you may need to take Dramamine.

Summerfield Farm and Draft Horses is a small horse farm located in East Bend, NC where we personally save 4 Draft horses per year from the slaughter pipeline, retrain them as trail horses and steady field companions for new forever homes..

Disclaimer: Always check your tack and safety gear for proper fitment before you go out.
