RE: [RC] why I don't love trail riding - Kitley, Carrie E Civ USAF AFSPC 30 MDSS/SGSLF

Holy guacamole, Lynne!!  That's why I don't like saddle horns myself.  (broke 
my hand on one once).  But then, I don't really need one as I don't do any 
roping, etc.  =)

I remember it being the talk of the online fora back in the Usenet and  
CompuServe days: that was Malcom Baldridge, whose big belt/buckle got  
hooked over the horn.

Arena riding -- didn't we have a Secretery of the Interior who got

is, arenas may be more hazardous than the great outdoors because  
those unyelding metal posts and rails are close all around.

Jeez, Gina. You could never get me on a horse as tall as Ash in the  
first place and I think that throwing you and your horses over jumps  
the way you do is the ultimate in lunatic risk taking. I'm in utter  
awe of people crazy enough to do that.  LOL  People get hurt far  
worse and far more often jumping than just falling off a horse on a  
trail...or do they? I don't really know. I DO know that as riders we  
take a chance every time we get on a horse and that this is the life  
that we've chosen for ourselves.

Rather than looking at it as a "where" you ride issue, it's more  
productive to look at it as a "how" you ride issue. As Raven noted,  
for trail riding a mobile phone is a must and one with a gps in it  
is wonderful (not that most people even know how to use this  
feature...but it is really helpful). Knowing your horses and your  
terrain is also a must. But it sounds like this was just one of  
those freak things.
