Re: [RC] Fireworks as a begginer ride - Julienne

Who is criticizing?  Please re-read my email, there is absolutely no criticism at all and I'm sorry if you took it that way. 

By the way, I did not intend my opinion of the Fireworks ride to be broadcast to the Ridecamp group.  Thanks for that.

Julienne

You might want to consider being a mentor to some newbies and help them out rather than criticize?  Just a thought.  My mare is usually ok (however, not exactly calm), but she does get real excited at the start because she loves endurance.  We sometimes end up doing a few tight circles before the ride starts.  :)  I have been told that the Fireworks ride might be a good beginner's ride because the terrain is fairly easy to navigate.  I don't know, I've never done that one, but I'm looking forward to it.  :)

I'm not sure I would say it's great for a first ride.  There are A  LOT of newbies at this ride with out of control horses.  If you decide to ride, make sure you have a nice calm buddy horse OR start waaaay in the back of the pack.  I don't like this ride because of all the other horses and inexperienced riders.
