Joining the longing for those days club. Mine were predominantly in Utah, love western states although living in Virginia now. I chuckled at her mentioning her butt not being in riding condition lol. All my horsey muscles would be speaking up, but if I get a chance, even now I'd do it. Even 7 miles right now. Course I might be calling out of work the next day or so, but it'd be sooo wortth it. I do have horses next door so I can get mini horse fixes putting my nose in their neck. Ahhh that smell. They got watermelon treats yesterday too. I rode Arabians in Utah with a trainer. Owned one. Fun days. Never leaves us.

I’m sure CC will make absolutely 100% certain, or as much as humanly possible anyway, to make sure that Ziggy DOES go to the VERY BEST HOME, FOR HIM. There’s absolutely no way anybody wants to see him back in the auction system again. I agree with you also, that I personally can see Ziggy with a younger teenager, possibly their first ever horse, and being loved AND spoiled as he most certainly deserves. Just imagine how he would be feeling? Being dotted on and smothered in so much love and care, with him teaching his new loving owner all about horsemanship and what it feels like to have AND love your horse. Sounds so perfect for him doesn’t it?♥️

I had a white Arab for 16 years. Rode him at age28 on a 10 day Sierra camping trip. I brought m olasses to put in his water on long trailer rides.

You could tell Ziggy was himself. Something that he definitely needed.

So this is rush hour in Montana. Ziggy's tail is perfect. It looked so good. It's hard to believe it's the same horse. I'm happy Ziggy had a good time.

Ziggy looks so incredibly beautiful and must think he died and went to horse heaven with all the kindness and pampering you've been showering on him.😍💕 I haven't ridden for many years, so I just love you taking us on this ride!

Oh my goodness, that took me back 35 years to when I used to lead groups hacking forestry trails in County Wicklow, Ireland. My 'pay' was riding whenever I wanted for free. I used to take a lovely Anglo-Arab and spend hours in the forest watching the wildlife and enjoying the scenery and the time alone with my favourite horse. The Wicklow Mountains can't compete with yours in Montana but at least we didn't have to worry about bears! Great memories. For a while now I've been hoping you would keep Ziggy, but seeing him here I think he would probably be happier with someone who could devote more time, getting him out and about - time you don't necessarily have to spend with just one horse. I no longer have horses in my life and I so enjoy your videos. I like the way you are with your animals and the way you show the hard work - and risks - that accompanies your lifestyle. Thank you for sharing your passion, it is much appreciated 😊 ❤ from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What a beautiful ride. It was a real treat to see the Montana mountains. Ziggy was in his element and knew how to keep you and himself safe. You have done a wonderful job restoring him to his former glory; I am sure he is very grateful.

I like Ziggy's connection with you. He is so kind and respectful and trusting and curious. This is a pleasure to watch. I love how you are so in tune with your animals needs. Thank you, CC, for sharing today.

The shot of the horses grazing, the hot air balloons and the mountains as a back drop looked like a painting. ❤❤❤ So beautiful.

He's gotten really handsome and his colors are more vibrant. He doesn't look tike the same horse that arrived to your stables. That was amazing scenery. ❤

I laugh every time you puts words to Tiny’s looks and actions. Thank you for taking us along on Ziggy’s trail ride! So glad the KZread algorithm lead me to your channel. I hope your channel continues to grow and helps you support your horses.

And just like that, I've had my first virtual trail ride!!! Woohoo!!🐎 Much nicer this way.: no leg & back pain, mosquito/bug bites, no hauling or driving! Thank you CC!! I really do feel like I rode Zigster with you!!🙋🏼‍♀️💕

Look at those ears! Ziggy really is living his best life now 😊

What extraordinarily beautiful scenery - so vast and yet so pretty. I will watch this again for that. And above all, the darling Ziggy was SO good, alert, and happy. He seemed to enjoy it all immensely. Thank you for taking us along with you both.

I love that you're riding him bitless.

This trail ride was magical; perfect horse, perfect weather, perfect landscape. Made my heart ache for days gone by. When I saw that you're riding in an unknown place with just a halter and lead rope, I thought you must be either incredibly confident or incredibly brave; I know it would never have occurred to me to do such a thing. I'm glad your "carcass" made it back home 🙂

It made me so happy that Ziggy justified the confidence CC placed in him when she took him out with just a halter and lead rope. What an excellent horse he is! They make a fine pair.

Thanks for taking us along.

I loved the perspective. I didn't feel like I was riding the horse, I felt like I WAS the horse! From being Ziggy, I learned how much horses use their ears to gather information about their environment and I also enjoyed how Ziggy took time to fully take in the magnificent view. He is so awesome. Thanks so much for the trail ride!

Thanks for taking us along, that was fun! I’ll be sad to see Ziggy go but know that you’ll find him a good home.

It's sad that after a dude ranch is finished with their horses that they just send them to auction where they can be purchased by a kill buyer. It's very cold hearted and distressing that is the way they repay the service their horses give them and their guests. Ziggy still has so much to give. Your ride today was gorgeous and now I'm missing trail riding.

It will be super cool to find him a nice home that does activities like that

Loved that big yawn at the end. Ziggy's a sweetheart. Thanks for taking us along.

You are so kind to Ziggy -- my trail ride companions back in the early '60s were Native Americans -- their ponies were tough, really tough, and we negotiated Colorado glacier area with the grace of ballerinas. No water, no rest and all leather strapping. He has the will of a good trail rider -- practice makes perfect! Hope he has a happy landing!

Ill be so sad if u find ziggy a new home. He's the most gorgeous horse ive ever seen. I know this is apart of what u do but it will still be sad..idk how u do it, it must be incredibly heartbreaking to get attached 2 a horse and than rehoming that horse uve fallen in love with.. ur an awesome person, ty 4 doing what u do and giving these horses a 2nd chance..And such a wonderful life...

Makes me very nostalgic for my own trail riding days in Oregon and Wyoming. It was a beautiful ride and it was good to see Ziggy looking really happy to be out on the trail again. Thank you for taking us along!

You are a most excellent "mom." Brava!

This video was so wonderful. I can't tell you how great it was to go down the trail looking between the ears of a grey Arab. I'm in my 70's now and had to give up my horses after 2 car wrecks the year I turned 30. I still miss it so much! Your trail was much like the ones I used to ride in the Washington Cascades.

Ziggy is so freakin cute and good!!! His ears are just slightly curled almost like a Marwari horse ❤ My fave quote: “I fall off and my carcass is laying in the trail someone will find me eventually” LMFAO

Thanks for taking us on a _beautiful_ ride! I have a feeling that, not only won't there be any trouble finding a new home for Ziggy, it will be hard to choose from the ... hundreds? of people who want him. He sure is a gorgeous horse, and he seems like an ideal trail companion.

I love Ziggy so much. He's such a good boy. Those mountains looked incredible. What a lovely day that must have been.

Ziggy looks stunning and shiny today with his new gear

The only horse I've ever owned was an Arabian gelding and he was amazing! I've never been a good rider so you're probably wondering why I purchased an Arabian but I don't think I thought it through before the purchase and certainly didn't think about it after as he was gentle and sweet and everything amazing. He did have spirit of course as do arabians, however, when he would raise his head and start prancing I would get off rather than risk falling off or being thrown. Ziggy is a great horse and reminds me of Hallmark because he doesn't seem hot-blooded. Arabians have been given a bad rap and that really irks me off big time.

I enjoyed the trail ride with you and Ziggy. He handled it like the champ that he is.

The joy of arabs! Always a great ride! Thank you for taking us with y'all

You totally deserved 👏 ❤️ this ride 😊😊😊😊

It was relaxing to see Ziggy enjoying a calm ride and to hear about potential issues he might anticipate. It was refreshing to see him take in the scenery. What a perfect day.

I love how you gave Ziggy his own determinism mostly lol. Years ago (35) I began riding again and was given an endurance horse who didn’t like to ‘go’ to ride on a trail ride in the High Sierras. There was a beautiful part of the trail and I asked the owners if I could ride him back and run him. They said sure. We had a great gallop and ‘Rice Rocket’ and I were very happy with it. Later the owners asked what I did because he became super forward and willing to move out after that. In truth I did just what you did today which was listen do what the horse is willing to do without extra stress and of course riding with a good seat… thank you for this lovely vid rehabbing one of my best riding experiences.

Reminds me of trail riding (in an English forward seat saddle), on a tidy little chestnut Western mare at Ft Sill OK. I was 11-12 and riding trails on my own when the East Range was NOT firing artillery rounds. I cannot believe I did so much on my own and came back alive. I am nearly 80 and miss it so much so very happy that you and Ziggy are providing me such fresh Montana air delight!
