[RC] mentoring - Lauren/Gary

Carol,

RE: mentoring
I have to agree with Cindy on this one. If I saw a rider (experienced or
not) with a "wild and crazy horse" I would not want to put my horse or
myself in jeopardy and would try to stay clear. Having your horse around one
that is cranked up can certainly crank up your own. Very often, that is the
way it works, not the other way around.

It all depends on just how "out of control" the other horse is and if you
perceive it to be a dangerous situation for you/your horse.

BTW, I, personally, take offense at you calling Cindy's horse a "plow
horse." She is a horse that I would love to own. Cindy has taken the time to
train her to not get cranked up but to go willingly and eagerly down the
trail.

And, FYI, Cindy has done so much to encourage new people to the sport and be
educational, informative, and encouraging. She has personally stayed with me
when my mares have been total idiots.  She has "mentored" more than her fair
share of people. She is more than "qualified," unlike some others that come
to mind.
