Arabian champion Raf Gee trains for national trail crown
On a frozen Chippewa Falls farm about 11 years ago a newborn Arab filly was sheltered in a basement. Now 11, Raf Gee, Thorncreek Farm’s mare, aims for a U.S. Arabian national trail championship. Trail horses must be obedient and responsive to subtle cues, with gates water obstacles and bridges as common hurdles. Mr. Berthiaume, a locomotive engineer and farmer, favors the stock saddle and notes trail is affordable for middle income riders.
