Maybe not such a good idea for a young horse or the family either!

So it *is* the same out there! >g<  The wagon trains out here notorious
for that. When I was a teenager my first camping trip with my horse was
to something called "The Chattsworth Family Wagon Train". I showed my
parents the brochure and told them my riding buddy and I were going to go
stay three days. They thought it sounded wholesome enough. When we pulled
in we saw a guy we knew from the horse shows. He said...what are you two
doing here ALONE!?  He moved his camper next to ours "to keep us safe".
The partying went on all night. Drunks in wagons circled the camp
non-stop. There was a "whore house tent". We started to go to the dance
but our protecter ordered us not to. There was a knifing that
night...something about some woman catching her husband with a woman from
"the tent". I'll never forget walking to the restroom the next morning
and stepping on a set of false teeth. >g< And our protecter...he took in
a woman whose husband had gotten drunk and beat her up...then the husband
showed up at his camper with a gun...and he was keeping *us* safe?  We
made it home alive, but my horse brought home a good case of flu which
spread to my other two. I never told my parents a thing.   And people
wonder why I love endurance people!

By the way, the man who owned the camp where we had our endurance ride up
at Tellico Plains also hosted a wagon train. He said endurance was much
safer. The wagon trains always lost a couple of horses every year.
