Stopping at Chucuyo Waterfall on the Horse Ride
Chucuyo Waterfall gives us a good place to rest riders, check saddles and let the horses settle before we head over the ridge.
Chucuyo Waterfall is one of the natural stopping points on our horse ride through Chacuyo Valley.
Riders can get down, drink some water, eat a snack and take photos. If they want to, the pool there is calm and deep enough for a dip. Its also a good place to look over the horses and make sure everything is still sitting right.
I like to check the saddles before we keep going. Sometimes a horse settles in differently once the ride is underway and a trail-side adjustment is the right thing to do. It keeps both horse and rider comfortable and safe for the rest of the route.
That is part of the way we do horse rides here at 4C. Its not just about getting from one point to another, its about paying attention to the horse, the rider and the mountain.
