Re: rideg bred mares in LDs

Hi Tammy,
I would urge you to take your mare. You will have a more enjoyable time as
will your friend as you will not be pre-occupied with trying to control an
edgy, rambunctious youngster. You can ride and chat and enjoy the outing.
There will be plenty of time to accustom your youngster to riding with
others, etc. Those things are best tackled on training rides with patient
friends who know what you and your horse are working on. Hope you have a
wonderful riding time.
Pat
