Re: [RC] Riding other folks' horses - Cindy Collins
Personally, I have had some wonderful experiences that I wouldn't trade
for the world riding other people's horses: Sierra Fadwah, Sierra Fad
Serene, Sierra Spunk, Hot Shot Honey, Serya Robask, GE Dandy...just to
name a few. One of my deepest regrets as an endurance rider is that I did
not take Smokey's offer to let me ride Bandit on a ride. Can't remember
why now...think it was a problem with me getting there, but whatever the
reason was, it was a mistake. I did get to ride Bandit around a XP camp
bareback to limber him up and I treasure that memory. Same feelings about
my memory of taking Joe Long's Kahlil on a training ride out of Shell.
However, as a word of caution, I was an experienced endurance rider AND
the owners all trusted me to ride my own ride depending upon how I thought
the horse felt. I was never pushed to go fast. So, my feeling is that
those rides were great gifts and I suggest you consider taking up the
offer if you trust the owner, have some experience yourself and the horse
is experienced. Good luck. Cindy
