Seems like some horses are really careful and others aren't! Jewel hadn't ever been out of a round pen when we got her and put her in the pasture and she went down numerous times negotiating turns in the mud..... Shaylea said she slipped and went down in the manure pile last week! Sigh.....
Being low desert, we never have that much mud but I will trot Cody through large puddles as long as the mud isn't too deep and sticky.
I guess if my horse was galloping, I'd slow them down in increments to avoid a sliding stop/fall?
