Out on the long ride we will spend a lot of evenings in camp. Some nights we will write up the day or plan the next water stop. Other nights we will just sit by the trailer, listen to the horses breathe, and look for small ways to rest.

That is where these little Trail Breaks come in.

Trail Breaks are small bits of fun for you and for us. Word searches, crosswords, and other puzzles that will live at the bottom of some posts and here on this page. They grow out of real parts of this project. Tree planting. Horse care. Wild horse ranges. Gear lists and packing plans. If it matters on the road, it may show up in a puzzle here.

My hope is that these Trail Breaks give you something to play with on your own quiet evenings. Print them out, keep them in a barn office, bring them to a local mustang group, or just enjoy them with a cup of coffee.

Thank you for walking this road with us. The miles are long, but they are lighter when we can share them, one story and one small puzzle at a time. Many Trail Breaks also have printable PDF versions you can download and share with your barn, classroom, or trail group.
