Re: [RC] 20 MT and Little Big Man - Barbara McCrary

Tell ME, why are you so consistently adamant about this issue? Do you even have children of your own? Most of us parents have seen our kids through childhood with horses and hiking and skiing, etc. and the kids have grown up responsible and mature. When a kid is 6, two years seems like a lifetime. I trust most parents to be responsible enough to make sound choices for their kids. Why don't you just drop this issue. It's hardly an epidemic. What.....two kids in the past 5 years or so????

Kids need responsibility and enough freedom to do what they want to do, within reason, of course.

Yes, they sure do, within reason, of course. It's that "within reason" that is
the issue.


Tell me, what is so terrible about a six-year-old growing for a couple of years
before starting into such a demanding sport? It's so easy for us to become
blase about the real demands and real dangers that come with endurance rides.
