record since it's so easy to look up. So, just ask how many miles do

I'm not sure what warranted this comment I never
mentioned anything about people lieing about their miles. I think you have me
mixed up someelses post.
"I will
say, though, that I will not ride with someone whose horse is out of
control. I'm just too old for that stuff. I can't afford to get myself
or my horse hurt. Good luck. Cindy"
Cindy, That was
my horses first ride and he wasn't happy that I was waiting till everyone left
camp before starting on him. He was just young, inexperienced, and
excited being his first ride and reared while John was holding
him. Once I got on him he was fine and never "out of control". In fact once we
got started, we came up a lady that was having trouble controling her
horse and I stopped my horse and waited with hers until it calmed down.
Beau is a normally very calm well-trained horse at home and on the trail. Are
you telling me your horse never got excited at a ride start? You must be riding
a plow horse. Carol
