Mae certainly worked things out with her horse...and finished in first 
place.  She is 17 years old and IMO a role model of competence, good 
judgement and horse sense.

The very essence of our sport is doing the trail as quickly as practicable,
while keeping one's horse fit to continue.  Taking the clock out of the
equation makes it another sport altogether.  The challenge is how to keep
the sport what it is while honing our skills (both as riders and as those
in control roles) in detecting where "the edge" is for each horse so that
we don't cross it.
