I love learning even more than I love peanut butter and almost as much as horses.
For anyone looking for an indepth, immersive packing experience I recommend Colorado Pack Company LLC ‘s “Edventure” (Education + Adventure)
We spent 6 days learning about gear, tying hitches, putting together all manner of common and unusual loads, riding and camping in the backcountry.
We made memories I’ll never forget, friendships I hope to keep forever and the two dun Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy Ambassador Mustang mares and I learned so much. We look forward to sharing at least some of that with you all during our own one day packing workshops.
Packing is a wonderful way to get a Mustang ready to be a safe, brave and well-adjusted riding partner, even if your goal isn’t to disappear into the wilderness for days on end.
Gabe let me bring not only Lacy but also Echo, who was less than 2 months out of holding at the time. She packed her own little light load, crossed the river and spent a night in the backcountry just like the seasoned horses.
I’m so proud of these two gritty Mustang mares.
Horse packing brings people in touch with themselves, each other and their animals in a deeper way. We all found things to work on and learn, not just about packing, but more importantly ourselves and our stock.
Gabe and his family create an atmosphere where you can come as you are and feel supported as you learn and grow at your own pace along with your equines and other participants.
*Cedar Update: Thank you so much to all of you who have and continue to offer support, financially and otherwise. We’re hoping to know more in the next day or two. I’m blown away by your kindness. Thank you!*
