It must be the club. Our CMOs are run by our local Arab Assn and safety
and fun are the priority here. CMOs came from a military exercise so in
war, yes you probably would take chances to "find the treasure" you
wouldn't normally take with your horse. Our CMOs are a great time, but
never at the risk of safety for you or your horse.

Find a different group putting them on.
