Unless, of course, your horse spooks and shies and things on the trail! I
have to keep my senses focused on my horse's ears, otherwise I can be
victim of the "disappearing horse" trick - <looking around at the beautiful
scenery and then looking down> "Now where did my horse go?? He was here
just a minute ago!" = ) I am sure some of you out there can relate!! = )
I love my horse and I LOVE this sport.
