[RC] Why you'd ride a horse you'd never been on - Cindy Collins

This is hard to answer, but I will try since I've done it several times. 
You see, I always saw it as the ultimate compliment.  The owner saw
something in my riding that caused them to trust me with their horse and
felt I had the ability to "read" that horse's needs on that day.  What an
honor, and what a responsibility!  Because of this, I'm been able to ride
some incredible horses, like Khalil (only a training ride, but it meant
the world to me), Sierra Fadwah+/ (Hall of Fame), FM Fad Serene, Sierra
Spunk, GE Dandy, Honey's Hot Shot, and MB's Liya.  One of the greatest
regrets, as I've shared before, is that I did not ride Smokey's Bandit on
a ride when he was offered to me, but I did ride him bareback around an XP
camp in 1984 and cherish that memory.  I wouldn't just let any one off the
streets ride one of my horses on a ride, but there are certainly endurance
riders out there that I'd gladly allow to compete on one of my horses and
be honored to have them do so.  Cindy
