I wrote a story about my ride this weekend - no
one was treated despite the heat, there were no rude or uncaring riders it was
a wonderful event. I wanted to tell a GOOD story in light of all the
remarks people make focusing on the BAD things that happen. Instead of
seeing that aspect, several people wrote me to ream me out regarding my
comment that my horse's head was sticking out of the drop down
doors.
For those of you who are wearing those shoes that
make you JUMP to conclusions - my horse does not travel with his head out - he
sticks it out when we stop, or in this case, were in line at the toll
booth. I know, the story said he rode with his head out, I guess I
didn't mean that. Never once has he had even his nose out during regular
forward motion. I have hauled across this country and back several
times- hopefully I can be deemed competent to continue now that I have
explained myself.
BTW, it was a wonderful ride with many fabulous
caring people. THAT was the point.
