Re: [RC] Mari Smultea finish Tevis - riders not stopping - Patty P

    I think we will find this in every sport, in every country, in every walk of life. There will always be a few that will stop and help, and a few that wont. I don't think our sport has anything to do with it. It is a terrible shame if we are in trouble and are stuck with the selfish ones. It is a darn shame, and very sad that these people are so focused on themselves that they wont give a helping hand. But I wouldn't blame the sport...unfortunately this is common everywhere. :(

 riders who will most likely be the
ones first at the scene of any accident.
I've heard stories about riders refusing to stop to allow the other
rider in their two person team to adjust a loose girth, knowing well
that the horse wouldn't stand still long enough while it's buddy
disappears down the trail.
 
I'm just glad that so far I didn't get into trouble on the trail
leaving me helpless and relying on other riders:(
 
Shame on these folks!
