What a transition, from dealing with that resident Mare in the quarantine pen, to out for adventure on a magnificent trail ride in Montana! Thank you so much for inviting us along ! Ziggy is such a Prince, and you are the best thing that has happened to him, imo. 🐴🥰🦋💕

Thank you for taking us along on your and Ziggy's first big trail ride! Ziggy did terrific! Not many horses would be that calm on unfamiliar trails with no other horses. Ziggy is going to make some trail rider extremely happy one day! ❤

"The trail is supposed to be pretty well marked" "We all got lost"

Ziggy Made His Mark: Climbing A Mountain!! How Fabulous Is That!! The Clever Cowgirl Took Her $600.00 And Made It Count!! I Always Knew She Is A Smart Woman!!❤😊

Someone is going to love having this good boy in their stable.😽

Thank you for taking us along on Ziggy's beautiful adventure! My horse riding days were soo loong ago, now that I am an old lady. Makes me cry a little. Thank you! Thank you!

I love that you're riding him bitless.

Ziggy deserves a young girl who just loves him forever and is her heart horse.❤

Looks like the perfect mount for a young teen to join their family on trails-I am praying for a good happy home for him

He's so elegant and gentle, such a lovely little horse

Pretty good days are awesome with a horse like Ziggy. Thank you so much for letting me tag along. It was fun!

I’ve trail rode for fifty years and every horse I’ve rode was scared of a stump and one of my horses was afraid of the same stump for years I think he liked to make a big deal of it😂

Thanks for taking a chance on Ziggy. 💕

He has a sense of humor. And a much better sense of himself than I originally thought. Very nice horse.

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

And thank you for taking us for a ride ( virtually ) in Montana - divine ❤

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.

This was an excellent example of what an Arabian can do on a trail ride. Bravo Ziggy you are a very good boy!

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 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

OK neigh-sayers, now we'll see who can ride!!!

Thanks for taking us along.

Ms. Tiny has allot of rules that everyone has to adhere to. She runs a tight ship

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!

What a STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS video CC! ❤❤ THANK YOU!😘🤗🙏🏽🐴 ZIGGY is a Star!⭐ Montana truly is BEAUTIFUL!!🌺 🌻🌱 🐎 🐈 🌄

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.

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.

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.

Love your humour! If I fall off some will find my carcass eventually 😂😂

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.

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

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!!🙋🏼‍♀️💕

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

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 KZfaq algorithm lead me to your channel. I hope your channel continues to grow and helps you support your horses.

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!

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 🙂

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.

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. ❤

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!

We adopted a 15 year old Arabian who was similar to Ziggy. He was the best, did cattle drives, trail rides, all 'round good mount. He passed from CHF in our care at age 37. These good Arabians are worth their weight in gold.

Please everyone hit the 👍botton

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

I would consider myself a non animal person and have been described as a technological barbarian by some people. However I have found this channel very soothing and even therapeutic. I have become a fan of the channel and appreciate the animal care that others are involved in

Your Humor. In your description 🤭😆🤣 “We get a little lost”…. “Ziggy goes solo”…. “Do we make it out alive”… Hilarious. He is so so pretty. And you were so caring making sure he didn’t get overworked on this first trip.

Thank you so much for taking us along for that amazing ride!

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!

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

To think that this wonderful horse was tossed into the recycle bin as obsolete equipment that no one wanted. Look at him now - sleek, ears pricked and alert, and hugely enjoying his trek with you. He must love having a kind and knowledgeable rider so he can relax and enjoy the trip. 😍💕💓

What a beautiful ride! Thank you! Love Ziggy❤

The scenery is beautiful. Yes, Ziggy is loving it.😊

Ziggy looked so happy and content at the end like he really enjoyed the day.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Ziggy has either been surprised by a snake from under a fallen log before or is just smart enough to know they could be there? Thank you for letting us come along with his ride - he did seem to truly the experience and it is wonderful to see the care you put into making his day so much fun!

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...

You are a most excellent "mom." Brava!

Ziggy is a treasure

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. Did many trail miles on a grey Arab colt I started myself. This video really took me back!

This was one of my favorite videos so far. Thank you so much for sharing your day with Ziggy with us. 😊❤

Thank you for taking us on this gorgeous ride! Love Ziggy!

Ziggy is a true prize! He's a beauty.

Such a beautiful trail! Thanks so much for taking us along! I’m an old lady who will never ride a trail again, but I m grateful that you brought us along on your ride. Ziggy is such a good horse! I’m excited for him to get his forever home, but I think we will all miss him when he leaves your care!

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.

Wow, CC! What a ride! Stunning 360° views and Ziggy livin' his best life. I love how prepared you were about every comfort and scenario Ziggy might have encountered. I felt like you could almost read his mind during that ride. Thanks for such a great video and GOOD BOY ZIGGY!!🐎💜🐎

That ride had Ziggy so mentally stimulated I don't think he'd have minded another 3 hours. He seems the type of good boy you can just tag along with as he explores nature and can trust to take you home when he's done. Hope you had a nice long soak after! Thanks for taking us along❤

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

With such a beautiful day and lush forest and Ziggy being primarily white, I’m getting such fairytale vibes with this video😍

What a beautiful day you and Ziggy had together 🥰. So great to see you getting to take a break and getting to enjoy the fruits of your hard work. Ziggy was an absolute rockstar and we are so proud of him. Thank you for bringing us along on this journey.

My favorite view riding has always been looking between my horses ears. Made me really miss my guys who have gone on without me.🥰 They were the best times.❤

Ziggy’s a champ! I think you pushed him just the right amount and he was calm because he trusted the rider! You were his herd leader and he felt that! Superb 🙌

I really enjoyed our ride today. Thank you for taking me along. I wish I could get back on the trails but , pushing 80, that's not likely. this was lovely.

Ziggy is a gorgeous horse. The name doesn’t do him justice

That was fun! Thank you for taking us along with you and Ziggy. What fantastic scenery. Ziggy is such a good boy! 🐎🏞️😊❤️

Thank you for the beautiful ride! Ziggy is definitely a professional on the trails

I wish you could keep Ziggy forever and ever 😢❤

Thank you so much for taking us along on your ride. Ziggy was a superstar with you as an experienced guide on his back.

What a wonderful experience for Ziggy!! Your kindness and care for him is probably the best he has had!! Your knowledge and horse sense are tremendous! Thanks for the opportunity to share a lovely spring trail ride with you and Ziggy❣️ Loved the description of the scents! And so glad you did not have any bear encounters.

Good job Ziggy! He did so well! I love how it looked like he was just taking in the view with you. What a beautiful place! Thanks for taking us along! He's such a sweet horse!❤

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

Ziggy was a good boy thats for sure. What a little gem.

I LOVE HIM so much. 🥰🥰🥰 if I didn't have 300 black angus, I'd buy that boy. He's going to make some teenage girl's dream come true!

Just watched this again, and I just love this king of little horses. What a perfect animal - I shall miss him terribly when he leaves.

You totally deserved 👏 ❤️ this ride 😊😊😊😊

Pay back!! You deserve it. The trust level given he's been quarantined for 4 out of 8 weeks - awesome. What a kind fella.

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.

40 minutes like vacation. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us 🙏

Thank you for sharing this beautiful ride on my horse, er...ahhhh...Ziggy! I wish! But he is a fabulous gentleman, whoever gets him better love him as much as we do!

I love the sound of the saddle. Takes me back to when I was younger and rode quite a bit. Great memories.

OMG, this was so fascinating to watch. I love Ziggy. He is such a sweet guy!! And I am, as usual, so appreciative of your knowledge and great heart. This was such a blessing for me because today is a day of non activity for me and I felt so blessed to be able to go on this trail ride with you. I loved every minute of it. I loved it when Ziggy would whinny or snort...I felt like I was on his back some of the time. Thanks so much for including us on your ride. It was memoriable!! Much love and Namaste'. Gigi

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.

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!

What a wonderful ride. Ziggy had a great day and thoroughly enjoyed himself. I'm sure he'll soon be wondering when your next outing will happen. Thank you for taking us along!

Donna here, I absolutely loved this video! I have always wanted to visit Montana because I've heard that the scenery was spectacular. I haven't been on a horse since I was a teen. Ziggy was such a good boy! I (and many others) would love to see more videos like this!

Ziggy walked between the puddles because he didn't want to ruin his new shoes, haahaa. Pretty scenery. Yup and the legs, oy, you'll feel it tomorrow. 🙂 Ziggy was just perfect.

Just fascinating watching his ears! Beautiful! Can’t wait for Scarlet action!

Ziggy looks stunning and shiny today with his new gear

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.

No bit. Fantastic.!

What a great horse. Little Ziggy. He's a diamond. Thank you for taking us along on a beautiful ride.

I haven't watched yet. I am so excited that it is almost 40 minutes long! And on a Sunday!! Life is good! I need to make sure that I am not interrupted!! Getting my popcorn now!

What a good boy! Someone is going to love him! He looked really content after you got home!

I am SO attached to Ziggy for some reason. From the first video of him, I felt like he had the sweetest eyes ❤ I teared up during the clips of him gazing out at the mountains when yall were alone. Makes you wonder what he’s thinking about. The only time I’ve ever been on a horse was on a trail ride in Montana as a kid. We’re from Louisiana, so these were rental horses lol. The second time we went, they gave me a horse that kept trying to run away from the group while I was on him, and he also tried to scrape me off of him using trees. I was maybe 11-12 years old and the experience scared me from ever trying to ride another horse. Now in my 30’s, your videos make me want to try again. Unrelated: I was furious about there not being any water at the “water stops” 😂
