But at a farm where horses run, the footing has to be checked constantly. If a horse hurts its leg badly enough, he needs to be put down, so I'm confident that the footing on the trails and the mown parts of the grass is good. Where there is a deep rut or hole, it's usually marked with a little flag.
There are hundreds of acres on this farm, where I've been riding for years. I know all the best routes -- and the added benefit is that what seems like not very far on a horse, is quite a bit longer when I'm doing the running myself. However, it doesn't seem as long, because I'm used to the horse doing all the work. You know, it's not as easy as it looks to run through an alfalfa field. You really need to pick up your feet!
By the way, alfalfa smells goooooood.
