all right well if you want to worse
around you might want to come here to
southern trails in New Braunfels misty
parsley owner joins me and you guys do
so much more than just trail rides here
right yeah absolutely so we do our trail
ride and then we also have our rodeo
ride in our little dude ride super fun
okay so let's start with the trail ride
okay yeah absolutely so we have an hour
trailer and it's a beautiful hill
country of New Braunfels you're gonna go
up some hills down some hills and its
really fun too because you actually have
to control your horse it's not your
typical nose to tail trail ride you are
actually on the horse riding and you're
doing your work does someone need
experience before they go on a trail
ride absolutely not we take beginners
every day that's what we do we have
highly trained cowboys and cowgirls that
go in and they teach you how to ride
before you go out there so that way
they're safe and it's fun and you can be
relaxed and have a great time so let's
talk about the rodeo this one's my
favorite I love this so much so we do
the our trail ride and then after the
trail ride we go into the arena for
about 30 minutes and we set up the
barrels and maybe some pools and we can
do some bro racing full bending it's so
much fun maybe they can go a little bit
faster in a control area it's a blast
that's a really great way for kids to
kind of get that first rodeo experience
and maybe the rodeo bug yeah absolutely
it's awesome and you know it's really
safe our horses are great so they're
gonna help the kids out as well doing
this you don't have to be experienced to
the rodeo ride so the little dude ride
it just sounds incredibly cute it is so
cute this is gonna be for you know
probably our really
kids so what we do is we spend 20
minutes grooming the horses learning of
safety about the horses on the ground
how to be careful and then we talk the
horses up and then we'll spend 20
minutes of a lesson on top of the horse
so they'll be in the arena we teach them
everything a little bit more in depth
and then we go on a little 20-minute
trail right so it's an hour total and we
just break it up so that way their
attention spans can keep up with it well
baby steps for the little dudes and
dudettes so you do riding lessons here
as well right just regular riding
lessons yeah absolutely so we've got a
trainer that actually comes he's here he
lifts on on the site and he takes
anywhere anyone from kids to adult and
they do all kinds of riding lessons they
do cutting barrel racing just a regular
showmanship and things like that
okay well I'm excited to see the trail
ride so can we get started yes
absolutely let's do it okay so who's
this this is whiskey I would think he's
one of our favorites all the kids love
him he's my husband's favorite he's just
a sweet boy are you ready to go for a
trail ride I know it's kind of early
first things first Joy's want to ride
with your heels down your toes towards
this guy okay the reason why we do that
it keeps your balance in that saddle so
stop your horse you just pull back on
the reins until they stop and say whoa
and once they stop just put your hands
back down just like that to make your
horse go you squeeze with your legs okay
all right are you ready whiskey
ready single malt double malt all right
let's do it
with the away
and we're on like a herd of turtles
thank you might still be drunk
