    Re: [RC] leadless ponying - DESERTRYDR1


    My riding partner dies it all the time.  It's great when the horse is well 
    behaved, but she used to take her mule before Fancy was broke to ride.  Fancy 
    would kick at the horses, never connecting, just showing off.  She would run 
    and buck when she felt good, and she would also lay down and roll on the 
    trail whenever the mood hit her.  The last two habits she continued to do 
    under saddle, which is the main reason you all haven't seen her on the 
    Endurance trail yet. 
    
    I won't ride with someone who has a horse running loose.  It's just too 
    dangerous.  One time my friend's mare went running up a hill, since she had 
    no rider she could just go where she wanted.  My mare tried to race with her, 
     and I had a heck of a time getting her stopped.  Besides, they were racing 
    where there was no trail, and gopher holes and al my mare wanted to do was 
    pass, she wasn't watching where she was going. 
    
    Still, it sounds like a great way to keep to horses in good condition if you 
    don't have any one else going with you.   jeri
