I agree
we need to stick together because we are becoming a minority and the city
folks are moving to the country and many are wanting those
trails exclusively for joggers, walkers, runner, or bicycles, etc, but they
don't like and or fear horses and don't want them out
there.
Good Chime-in, Jo Ann.
If I might be so bold as to quote from Julie Suhr's wonderful book
(Ten Feet Tall, Still)...."The excitement of the start is
over and as I cross the valley floor, I see an occasional rider pulled over, an
obvious sign of a problem. Lame horse? A tied up horse? Or
maybe it is just a tack adjustment, changing the length of the stirrup or
rearranging a slipped saddle pad. I hope so for, you see, we are
all united this day. Young and old, rich and poor bonded by a common
goal---Auburn (read, "the Finish").
