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 🏴
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?♥️
@@traciehart4470I’m thinking he’s perfect for an older (57), well seasoned rider like myself! I owned horses for decades, considering selling and moving back to where I can have some around once more. I have no interest in training youngsters again. An older, calm horse like Zig is my ideal riding buddy!
@@janey1098 Exactly. So many says he'd be perfect for some teen. That's fine, but what happens to Ziggy when the teen grows up and heads off to college, jobs, marriage, etc? Even in high school, there are friends, parties, classes, boyfriends, and school work. How much time would this "young teen" have to spend with a horse once the novelty ends?
@@ElleSimon-wi1cm I'm sure he'd take care of it. some teen probably wouldnt just throw ziggy away, he'd keep him to show to his friends, bring to buddies, show his boyfriend(s) and do school work with zig. Just gotta find the right guy
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 RUclips algorithm lead me to your channel. I hope your channel continues to grow and helps you support your horses.
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. 🐴🥰🦋💕
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!!❤😊
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!!🙋🏼♀️💕
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! ❤
@brodaloaden1008 Nope! I would love for him to stay right where he is, but Clever Cowgirl has mentioned that her plans for Ziggy are to get him strong, healthy, and tuned up a bit, and then find him a loving home. I'm hoping she ends up changing her mind, and we get to tag along on lots more trail rides with Ziggy. He is a lovely horse. ❤️
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!!🐎💜🐎
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.
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. ❤
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!
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.
@@debbiemorris2644my name is Nickie, in my early 80s and wishing for one last ride. Miss those days in southern California when there was back country to ride in or the ocean close by to splash in. Rode an Arab for several years. She was a wonderful friend and a great ride.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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😂
lol We mostly rode on roadsides to get to a big open plateau where we let rip and my beautiful Anglo Arab would shy at the same huge rock 'Shying Rock' every time, but jump smaller ones, which were still big, no problem. My heart horse❤️
@@MsDormy The stump was shaped like a chair it had a high back a seat and four legs we rode by it for every day for ten years and every horse would eyeball it but my horse would jump sideways going out on the trail and start looking for it on the way back he was very broke had hours and hours of trail ridding and it was strange looking to me but I didn’t know if it really scared him he never spooked from anything else you just knew to hang on when his ears came up and his neck got stiff🤷♀️
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.
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!❤
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...
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 🙌
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!
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
Thank you both C.C. and Ziggy for taking us on the trail ride; I really enjoyed the audio of the creaking saddle and Ziggy snorting which both brought back as many memories as the video images. Both of you did a great job and it was an even greater pleasure having been a part of your work to reach this high mark. The last images of your empty plate did show a concern for your own top line as well. 💚
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!
I so enjoyed this trail ride. I could smell the pines and wet brush, and sweat and saddle leather. Still love hearing the rhymic song of the saddle, the drinking and munching, and blowing at the potentially threatening logs. Beautiful views of Montana, second only to the view of Ziggy's neck and ears. I yearn for a trail ride. I felt almost like I was with you today. Thank you.
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 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!
OMG, the boys look like kids running out to recess! Hahahahaaha! Cool about the hot air balloons, too. What gorgeous, gorgeous scenery. I’ll bet that food was good, after the ride. And what a great day with Ziggy did so well! Thanks so much for tris and for taking us along on the trail ride. (for a good cause, too)
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.
I really happy to see your focus on your horse’s physical condition and “feelings/reactions” to the experience. Sometimes parents are not as in tune with how their children are experiencing challenging physical activities as you & Ziggy.
Thanks for taking us tag-a-long! It was a wonderful day 😊 and Ziggy did excellent! Also happy that you didn't fell off and left your carcass behind, always a hassle when that happens😉 Sorry you didn't win anything, maybe next time!? ✌️🇸🇪
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. 😍💕💓
It's so nice to see Ziggy's progres I adore him. I'm in the UK and love your channel,it's so interesting to see the difference between English & western style riding & tack. .I used to have a chestnut Arab named Zak & Ziggy's. adorable temperament reminds me of him so much.Thankyou for taking us along.
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❤
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.
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.
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.❤
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” 😂
Someone is going to love having this good boy in their stable.😽
He seems like such a steadfast trail horse.
He is Awesome
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!
He's so elegant and gentle, such a lovely little horse
The shot of the horses grazing, the hot air balloons and the mountains as a back drop looked like a painting. ❤❤❤ So beautiful.
What a STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS video CC! ❤❤ THANK YOU!😘🤗🙏🏽🐴 ZIGGY is a Star!⭐ Montana truly is BEAUTIFUL!!🌺 🌻🌱 🐎 🐈 🌄
Ziggy the rock star! We love the Ziggster!
Ziggy was awesome. That scenery is incredible!!
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.

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

"We all got lost"
I love that you're riding him bitless.

Ziggy looked so happy and content at the end like he really enjoyed the day.
What a beautiful ride! Thank you! Love Ziggy❤

Thanks for taking a chance on Ziggy. 💕

This was an excellent example of what an Arabian can do on a trail ride. Bravo Ziggy you are a very good boy!
OK neigh-sayers, now we'll see who can ride!!!
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.

I remember my brother's horse was so brave, but one day, she was scared to pass a pinecone. 😂
Was there a demon in the stump? I think I’d get suspicious after the first few horse all shied at it!!!
@@MsDormy The stump was shaped like a chair it had a high back a seat and four legs we rode by it for every day for ten years and every horse would eyeball it but my horse would jump sideways going out on the trail and start looking for it on the way back he was very broke had hours and hours of trail ridding and it was strange looking to me but I didn’t know if it really scared him he never spooked from anything else you just knew to hang on when his ears came up and his neck got stiff🤷♀️

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!
Ziggy is a treasure
I so enjoyed this trail ride. I could smell the pines and wet brush, and sweat and saddle leather. Still love hearing the rhymic song of the saddle, the drinking and munching, and blowing at the potentially threatening logs. Beautiful views of Montana, second only to the view of Ziggy's neck and ears. I yearn for a trail ride. I felt almost like I was with you today. Thank you.
40 minutes like vacation.
Thank you so very much for sharing this with us 🙏
Thank you for the beautiful ride! Ziggy is definitely a professional on the trails
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 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!
❤
Wish you’d share that popcorn…🤤
What a good boy! Someone is going to love him! He looked really content after you got home!
OMG, the boys look like kids running out to recess! Hahahahaaha! Cool about the hot air balloons, too. What gorgeous, gorgeous scenery. I’ll bet that food was good, after the ride. And what a great day with Ziggy did so well! Thanks so much for tris and for taking us along on the trail ride. (for a good cause, too)
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.
I really happy to see your focus on your horse’s physical condition and “feelings/reactions” to the experience. Sometimes parents are not as in tune with how their children are experiencing challenging physical activities as you & Ziggy.
@@ES-pc8kfMe too. She is such a good horse owner. Horse comes first with her. My kind of girl, love her channel❤
Thanks for taking us tag-a-long! It was a wonderful day 😊 and Ziggy did excellent!
Also happy that you didn't fell off and left your carcass behind, always a hassle when that happens😉
Sorry you didn't win anything, maybe next time!?
✌️🇸🇪
Haha… always a hassle. 🙂↔️
Thank you so much for taking us along for that amazing ride!
I love the sound of the saddle. Takes me back to when I was younger and rode quite a bit. Great memories.
You totally deserved 👏 ❤️ this ride 😊😊😊😊
The boys look really excited to get out on their pasture.
Please everyone hit the 👍botton
I've tried 👍🏻4 times today but it doesn't work for some reason
@@lynnegee6814 Strange. Please try again today. Many 👍help CC to get more viewer.
Squeak, squeak, squeak 😄 Love the saddle sound.
That was beautiful & Ziggy was such a good boy. Thank you so much for taking us along with you! 🙂
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. 😍💕💓
It's so nice to see Ziggy's progres I adore him. I'm in the UK and love your channel,it's so interesting to see the difference between English & western style riding & tack. .I used to have a chestnut Arab named Zak & Ziggy's. adorable temperament reminds me of him so much.Thankyou for taking us along.
What a great horse. Little Ziggy. He's a diamond. Thank you for taking us along on a beautiful ride.
Arabians have always been my favorite horse. I can just feel his floaty trot through the sound of his hooves on the gravel! ❤
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❤
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.
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.
That was fun! Thank you for taking us along with you and Ziggy. What fantastic scenery. Ziggy is such a good boy! 🐎🏞️😊❤️
Beautiful country 😊 3.5 hours is quite an adventure! 😊
I LOVE THIS HORSE! Beautiful Ziggy. ❤❤
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.
Ziggy looks stunning and shiny today with his new gear
What a good boy! Such an adorable little guy. Tiny cracks me up. Ranch coordinator.
Tiny probably will love his new job description, I do.
So happy for Ziggy that you saved him from the slaughter pipeline he will make someone happy.
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 is such a great little ambassador for the Arabian breed❤ l love him!!
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” 😂
