[endurance] My 2bits on cars & road riding

I've run into so many wierdos, the kind that stop the car and then
speed up towards you on purpose to see your horse jump, that I never
ride on the road. I have a nice park 2 miles from pasture, in a
pleasant little town that doesn't see much crime, yet I still trailer
him to the park. It is just not worth the risk, to myself or my horse,
to ride next to an open road.

A friend of mine knew a girl who was trampled and killed from a horse
spooking from one of these drivers. The driver was never caught. It
is just not worth the risk.

End of story.
