Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

This topic has been blown out of perspective. I know everyone has a different definition of "broke to ride" I am not dumb. I put the terms that all tack purchases must be approved because I didn't want her buying something for my horse then trying to get me to cough up money. This horse will not be used for children. "just a trail horse" means that He is only going to be used for trail and in the mountains. Not that he needs less training. Maybe I should have put Only trail purposes. God, you guys take things so literal on ridecamp. Lighten up and actually read the post don't read into it!
