How the heck did you get the idea that he was saying to push their horses 
close to the edge in those paragraphs I wrote?  That isn't at all what he was 
saying and I don't see how you could read it that way.  

It was a friggen warning.  Warning, be careful.  You can push your horse more 
than you may realize and by then, it's too late; he's on an IV.  Maybe it's 
my writing style, but somehow you really misread that.

Sorry to respond to you so late, I've been out of town at a ride.  

cya,
