I've wondered what is better to do--fight with the horse at the beginning of 
a ride to try to keep some control or to let him run like a fool until he 
calms down (don't know if my guy will actually calm down before he runs 
himself to death...never really wanted to test that one.)
What do most of you generally do? 
I prefer to start after the crowd, but I've been on rides where you have to 
start with everyone...
