The weather handed us 48 beautiful hours this weekend. So, we pulled out the drag and suddenly, we had a riding-lunging convergence! It’s a blast to sample the equivalent of “fresh powder” for snow skiers. For my final tractor-drag runs, I like to leave long diagonal lines, long center lines, and perhaps a Figure 8 track. Very helpful for riding straight lines and circles.

Our sand-based arena is quite large, which gives multiple riders ample space.
