Checking cattle in the mornings is an opportunity for a bit of a jog. I was told the horse won't run along when they are headed away from the yard, but once he's turned around and headed back he's a willing participant in the exercise.
I’ve ridden horses (a long time ago) that would take forever to get anywhere. And then bolt for home you turned around. I remember continually doing figure of eights to try and stop this outrageous behaviour.
@johnfalconer I was thinking exactly the same thing! When you're riding for a paid amount of time, it complicates how long to head out and how quickly you'll return!
