[RC] LBL ride - rides2far

one of the reasons I never rode htere was that I heard it was a 
party camp ground and that people were drunken fools in the camp
ground.

I've been to quite a few endurance rides there and never got that feeling
*at all*. Lots of families. Horses seemed to be fairly well cared for,
but there was some pretty awful equitation. I got a real show when a
short woman who had obviously no experience riding and must have weighed
250 lbs. was being pushed/hoisted/shoved up onto a poor horse by about 3
other family members. I can't figure out why some of these people are
still alive. If I did some of the things they do I'd be dead 10 times
over. Some horses are *so forgiving, and they seem to end up with the
very people who need them..

The biggest challenge for me was that there were quite a few teams of
mules pulling wagons. The trails there are wide enough for the mules and
that can be a pretty good surprise for the horses rounding a turn!  In
contrast to the party camp reputation..that there was a large Cowboy
Church service there on Sunday morning.
