          Good point. Everybody's different though. Too many 
          "directions" from everybody else might detract from your 
          experience - or your ability to be with your horse. When I 
          ride with others, or get "caught" in a group, I find myself 
          distracted and paying less attention to my horse, and the 
          great country, which is one of the reasons I like to ride 
          alone a lot. Sounds like you will be really well-prepared - 
          if you ride conservatively in the beginning - you should 
          have a great ride. 
          
          Carlos is coming out for the WSTF Fun Ride in April, and is 
          going to ride my mare to learn a little about the trail. 
          Hopefully he'll be able to tell you how beautiful it is - 
          and what you have to look forward to. Prepare yourself and 
          your horse beforehand, take care of yourself and your horse 
          during the ride, and ride your own ride!
