==========================================

Thank you Lisa for being so articulate with your comments. I think I'll

dig out my "SHUT UP AND RIDE" t-shirt if its not too holey in the wrong
areas.  As for the WS accident: all of us can point fingers all day at the
rider, the tailer, the management.  Bottom line is this:  things happen on
this very very technical trail. It is the nature of the sport. As you will
soon find out things happen to the most experienced of riders!  Bees can
come out of the ground, parts of the trail are soft, the horse has four
feet that need to be synchronized all at the same time. Its a ballet out
there sometimes. As for invocations-I think a blessing or a prayer is
appropriate whether ride management just says "be careful out there" or
prays for the safety for all of us! Who is this going to hurt??   Think of
all of the good it will do for all of us. Something like a little
invocation will make a rider more careful that day or if anyone gets in
some kind of trouble with their horse those who come upon that rider will
be a little bit more compassionate.  Whatever the case may be.. my point is
that it makes us all a little more mindful and careful too with our horses
and each other for that matter. Okay I am stepping off my soapbox now :)
