Backing Up Your Horse in Hand

2 months ago | horseillustrated.com | Daniel Johnson

A horse that confidently and obediently backs up on command is a joy to have around. Whether you’re maneuvering to close a gate, positioning your horse for farrier work, or just need to take a couple steps back to reach the bottle of fly spray, backing is an all-important skill for convenience. It’s also a safety benefit while working in the barn.

There may be times when the adventurous side of you yearns for exciting new trails—and that may mean choosing to ride on trails that have been designed for more than just horses. Depending on your chosen location and the time of year, you and your horse might find yourself trail riding on a multi-use trail, which means sharing the trail with hikers, dogs, ATVs, bicycles, hunters, and more.

METEOROLOGIST DANIEL JOHNSON. WELCOME BACK AND GOOD SUNDAY MORNING TO EVERYONE. WE’RE EXCITED BECAUSE THE WEATHER PATTERN IS TURNING DRIER. IT’S GOING TO BE A SLOW PROCESS.

Louder Than Life weather: Pack your poncho, festival forecast looks wet

METEOROLOGIST MO ROSE. WE’VE GOT CLEAR SKIES OVER DOWNTOWN AND WE’RE DRY, BUT WE ARE NOT CLEAR EVERYWHERE. WE’RE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING SOME PATCHY FOG IN SOME SPOTS. JUST A FEW PASSING CLOUDS ELSEWHERE. TEMPERATURES ARE COMFORTABLE IN THE MID 60S HERE IN THE CITY. WE DO HAVE SOME UPPER 50S OUTSIDE OF DOWNTOWN. I THINK WE’LL DROP A DEGREE OR SO OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, AND THEN WE’LL BEGIN TO WARM ONCE THE SUN RISES. AND WE’RE ALSO GOING TO START TO SEE INCREASING CLOUD COVER.

Hi, I'm Wlky. Meteorologist Suzanne Horgan. We're going to be talking about an unsettled stretch of weather continuing now for today, just *** few spotty showers are going to be possible as we head throughout the day. So we're going to be watching for some areas of fog during the morning hours, quite *** bit of cloud cover and then some spotty showers as we head into tonight. But mainly dry skies are expected on Thursday to start.
