I would absolutely agree, Karen - IF the Lewis' were putting their child 
second to horses or sport, then that would be a bad thing.  But IF they 
weren't, if Cliffy was having a great time and was there because he wanted 
to be, and if his dad & granddad and no doubt other relatives at vet checks 
were watching closely so as to be ready to pull him from the ride if Cliffy 
was having second thoughts, well then of course there wouldn't be a problem 
in this instance!

I wasn't there, I don't know.  I just somehow doubt that the Lewis' were 
putting Cliffy second to anything. Lif
