Re: [RC] [RC] Riding alone... - Soli SorokinI'm actually more fearful of riding with other people. Not to the point that I don't do it, but the prospect for bigger, more dangerous wrecks is increased, the more horses you have in one spot. Additionally, the less experienced/responsible riders you have with you, the more dangerous it can be. Sure, you have someone to call 911 for you while you're laying there bleeding, but I'd prefer to avoid that part altogether. I had a horse that was very good about not being influenced by the behaviour of others - but I've recently sold him and now am back in the position of riding somewhat green horses that NEED to be ridden around others for the experience, but are still in the insecure stage of hollering constantly, worrying about what everyone else is doing, etc...riding them out alone is wonderfully peaceful. ~S On 4/25/06, Joe/Sabrina <hilander623@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I often wonder if anyone other than myself is just terrified of going out riding/training alone. I have one dead broke, guaranteed bombproof horse, that I will go out on by myself, but only within 5 miles of my home.(Basically because of being bored.) My other horse, who is my favorite and love of my life, I am not brave enough or dumb enough to go out by myself. He is basically a good horse. But he has that percentage of becoming disconnected. Does anyone else ever experience these thoughts? If my riding partner pulls at a ride, then I do not continue on, on this particular horse. Please tell me I am not alone. Even better, give me some advice or thoughts on this subject.
