i guess i got used to not getting off when riding ctr's and that's the
mind frame i'm in.  but i understand the logic. i also understand the
possible problems with loops of string attached to the saddle.  i have
to say that the retractable leash idea karen mentioned, sounds better
the more i think of it. i just have to figure out how to attach
something that bulky to my saddle... but i think i'm going to try to
do that. this way i have a loooong leash when needed that leaves no
hanging strings when it's retracted up.
