RE: EMT's ambulances on rides



You don't get my point.  Do you know for a fact that this is true
human error only?  I don't, so I'm not going to point any fingers
as you have.  The only point the rider was making was that there
was a breakdown in communication that she is proactively trying to
fix.  This blaming the rider for anything that happens is not
productive and is only causing hard feelings.  I know of a couple
of top riders that have had very bad accidents, not their fault,
on the Tevis.  What happened to them was not due to "human error"
or "stupidity".  Maybe one day something will happen to YOU that
will cause you to think over what you just accused.

no I wouldnt turn a cold shoulder yes I would be right there putting my
muscle in to help horse and rider. GEE maybe I sould have said...human error
instead of stupidity..here let me sanitize this for you all and make it
politically correct....But we sure do point fingers REALLLY QUICK when we
find out someones horse died or almost died from Metabolic or tying up or
thumps....So we are agreeing that I can't point fingers at TRUE human error?
Call it human error I call it stupidity. its the same difference!
