"... that judges will jump out of the bushes to try
to spook your horse..."
Ask Wendy about that! UMECRA rides can have
surprise P/R checks. The procedure is that you come around a corner, and
find a volunteer sitting on a lawn chair. He/she tells you "Trot up to the
top of the hill" or whatever. When you get there a 10 minute hold
starts. At 10 minutes a Pulse and Respiration check is made and on you
go.
One time good ole' Raj saw the volunteer move
behind a bush. He shyed and dumped Wendy in the middle of the trail.
She spent the rest of the ride worrying that the volunteer would tell others who
would laugh at her.
