I usually make a distinction in trail riders. . . If someone with a FAT FAT FAT out of shape, old and not well cared for horse tells me they are a trail rider, then yea. .. I assume they are a noob who don't really actually do anything.

If someone tells me they trail ride and they have a fit horse who looks in shape and well taken care of - I usually assume they must trail ride quite a bit and are not just retards. But understand the idea of conditioning
