    [RC] trouble going down hills??? - Vicki Austin


    Laurie, that is also what I learned in eventing, to go straight down, or the horse could fall since their legs are not ment for sidways hilling.
     
    In eventing we used to have to go up and down "stairs" on the cross country course and over a  jump as well.  Would not be able to do that if going zig zag.
     
    Anyway I don't think I would try zig zagging down my mountains.  They are mostly ledges.
     
    From my house everything is either up or down.  One side of my house up and one side of my house down.  And everywhere we go.  Not much flat area in Oxford Hills.    Vicki Austin ,from Maine  :)
