OUCH! Those remarks about Heidi are a little harsh to say the least!Don't know 
her but do enjoy her posts & am always ready to learn from different opinions 
even after a quarter of a century of endurance riding.Thank you to everyone who 
bothers to post to this site after a long day at work,hours in the 
saddle,chores to be done,family matters to solve,all the other things that make 
up our lives away from our beloved horses. I really appreciate what I take away 
from this site & don't need to have this random negative attack...unless Heidi 
caused the death or destruction of this person's animal through negligence or 
intent...well,enough said!
And on that note..I'm off to do my 1st multi day at the Oregon Outback..no crew 
& no clue but I haven't been this pumped about a ride in many years.Something 
about facing a new challange with a trusted but as yet un-proven 
friend(Ali-the-energizer bunny) makes this sport always new & FUN!!10 days till 
I leave & counting!!

===========================================================Riding alone is when 
you teach a horse all the "tools" and "cues" he needs
to handle the trail, to hold a speed, deal with hills, etc. It's also where
you develop the "bond" that causes him to "defer" to you before losing his
cool.
