Trails are more way more exciting to nature nerds like me. I know all the plants and animals and bird songs. You guys would laugh at me.... I get excited when I see certain species of ferns. Trails easily amuse me. When they get too boring dirt roads), then its time to go faster.

I'd die of boredom in a ring. I try to do it sometimes to practice leads at my riding club's property but my horse gets just as crabby and bored as me. I do want to ride a schoolmaster in a ring sometime.
Me too. I like to play "how many different flower species can I find" in the spring time. I got over 50 once and then I lost count.

I get really bored in the ring, and so does my horse. I think it might have something to do with the fact that really smart horses (like most good trail horses are) need something to do, and if it's too fiddly and tedious, they get super cranky. Right now we have to compromise with riding in a field and there aren't any trails nearby.
