The Carriage Roads are also great for bicycling!

Born to harness!
This was our last day– we had the hoof boots on their hind feet, because they had gotten pretty worn by then. (Usually the boots are used on their front feet, which take more of their weight…) The Carriage Roads are really abrasive, being similar to stone dust. It’s like they were walking on coarse sandpaper.
