On today's episode Ute talks with Sherry Bedard, horse and dog trainer from Canada about how you can successfully take your dog on trail rides. Many horse riders also have dogs and not all of them are well behaved around horses. Often horses and dogs do not go well together and either the dog ends up being afraid of horses or the horse might get upset every time it sees a dog. This does not have to be if you introduce both of them properly and if you take the time to school your horse and dog. Sherry gives us some tips on how to do this best and we also talk about which dog breeds are best suited for day and multiple day rides and how we can choose a puppy accordingly.

In today's episode I am talking about a valuable skill for trail riders: Ponying Horses. This basically means, leading a horse while riding another. It is a skillset which comes in handy while training young horses, leading a packhorse, riding with a young child or a beginner or bringing home the horse of an injured rider. In short, every rider should know how to pony a horse and every horse should get used to being ponied or having another horse being ponied alongside him.
