I've read a some posts where a few people say they don't overly enjoy hacking (trail riding). I don't seek to get out hacking. I prefer and gravitate towards arena riding and schooling. Why? Near my stables, there are not great places to hack, insects are abundant in the few months when it is really possible to get out and hack (both Skeeter and me *hate* insects), I've never done much hacking so perhaps there is a hesitation at the unknown, and I do have concerns about all the things that could go wrong with a horse and rider who are not so used to hacking (particularly the horse spooking at things). Besides, I *love* arena riding and schooling, and Skeeter enjoys it too!
So for those who aren't into hacking, care to share your reasons? I am kind of curious.
