    RE: [RC] leadless ponying - Maryanne Stroud Gabbani


    I would say that this is a good idea only in certain places. We've done it
    plenty in the desert...but they have the whole bloody Sahara to play in.
    Most of the time it's gone well, but one time a friend of mine and I went
    out with our mares and my old lady (Nimbus, 27) tagging along. It was a
    while ago so she was probably only 24 at the time. We let the horses gallop
    along a wadi and up a hill...Nim was in heaven because without a rider, she
    could outrun everyone. But my friend's baseball cap (yes, I know and she
    refuses to wear a helmet, so what can you do?) blew off so we had to stop to
    get it. Nim stood at the top of the hill, from which she could see the
    stable and waited fairly patiently for a couple of minutes while Babsi's
    mare was annoying about re-mounting. Then finally she came partly down the
    hill, whinnied as if to say "That's it. I'm not waiting any more." and she
    took off at a trot for home. The stable folk were somewhat surprised to say
    the least.
    
    You'd NEVER find me doing it in the countryside.
