Horsekeeping
Awareness of the outside world. World Water Day.
~~~
You are driving a trailer to a schooling venue. You have a choice of two routes.
Route A. Direct route. Two-lane. Winding. Not horrid but not lovely.
Route B. Longer. Wide, straight two-lane for most of the route. Easy ride for horses. Then 15% of trip is moderate unpleasantness up and over terrain to get back to the direct route.
Which would you chose?
Stay safe. Stay sane.

Can you tell which is the horses preference after arrival?
Good point.
How much longer? (time not distance). If it’s not much then probably B.
The horses probably have a preference, but it gets lost in the ‘Oh look, we’re here!’ attitude when we open the trailer door & window.
Time is just a hair longer. But the twisty bit is really twisty. We mostly go than way for a while, get annoyed, take the direct route, remember why we don’t go that way, and go back to the long route.
