He just stays with you the whole time and doesn't stray?
I felt like I was on Cairo! He was so alert with his ears.
Maybe you can strap the camera to your headgear next time.
Seth is pretty good when we're on trails. I have a harder time keeping him in check when we're on the road but I can make him heel, or sit if I need him to. He usually leads but once he's burned off a lot of his energy he will fall behind. It's weird because he listens better when we're riding than when I'm on the ground. But I think it's because we're moving a lot faster so he has to keep up. When we go camping or to the beach he totally leaves other dogs/people alone.
I have been thinking about strapping the camera to a helmet, I would just be worried that it would need to be really secure because it would suck if it fell off. They actually have helmet cameras, I totally want one!

And I could listen to clopping hooves and creaking leather all day.
She's a really good girl. I like the fact that we can go out by ourselves, go on busy roads and into neighborhoods and she doesn't spook or get weird about things. I have a friend who is pretty much afraid to ride and I called her because the trails back a barn that is now empty, but there was a horse there. She's like "You went by yourself?!" Of course I did! All of my friends are out camping, and this girl would have to lunge her horse for 30mins before we left so of course I went by myself.
And yeah - my saddle is so freaking noisy!
