Fwd: RC: Trail Riding Safety

["hope lundquist" <wwho20@hotmail.com>]

Hi Marv: Are you really sure it is ONLY Fox interested in these horse 
related accidents? It has not been too long ago we had our Horse related 
activities (Insurance wise) saved by a act of Congress. Maybe the INSURANCE 
INDUSTRY is behind all this interest. Tread carefully. Thanks Hope
