Re: [RC] [RC] endurance high school horses - Soli SorokinI, for one, think the school district is being overly anal. Hell,
those girls should get P.E. credit - not a reprimand - for riding
their horses to school and back at that distance.
I realize there are probably a load of liability issues, but there are
some with cars, also.
Here's the article from the Washington Post for anyone interested:
Two Teens Ride Horses to School in Utah
The Associated Press
Monday, September 26, 2005; 8:52 AM
SALT LAKE CITY -- Frustrated by rising gas prices, two high school
teens got fed up and decided to saddle up.
Mellissa Evans and Chapa Stevenson made their 30-mile roundtrip trek
to school last week on their horses, Nighthawk and Wink.
The seniors live in Rush Valley, a town of about 500 people 45 miles
southwest of Salt Lake City.
"When you have a car that gets 10 miles per gallon, you have to do
something," Evans said.
The trusty steeds spent their days in a stall inside the high school's
animal laboratory.
On Thursday school officials stepped in, telling the girls that horses
on school grounds were against the rules.
"I guess we'll have to go back to carpooling," Evans said.
Evans' mother, Karren, is disappointed her daughter can't ride her
horse to school anymore.
"It took hours for her to get to school," she said. "But hay is much
cheaper than gas."
