About the prayer,
Frequently, here in the SE when I am at a ride, I pray just before we 
start out on the trail. The exact words Iuse are different every time, 
but I always try to include the same ideas. (I believe God listens to 
what's on our heart more than the exact words we speak.) Any person of 
faith can do the same.
Bassically I try to include the following;
*Thank God for the opportunities he gives us to ride the horses He has 
given us through His creation.
*Ask for him to guide us to make wise choices involving our safety and 
that of our horses.
*Ask his protection during the ride.
*Thank Him for hearing our prayer.

So far no one has complained, and many people express their thankfulness 
for the prayer. At the rides where I know the ride manager has no 
objection, about two minutes before we start on the trail, Nancy Gooch 
will ask everyone to pause, and we pray.  I always feel safer after the 
prayer, and since I am pretty good at falling off my horse I do believe 
it helps.

Those of you who can, please come to the Hallelujah Ride in Camden, 
October 23. It's a really fun trail, and every year we try to make 
improvements. The Camden Hunt manages the trails we ride across, and 
give up a Cub Hunt just before their fox hunting season starts so that 
we can hold our ride. We welcome everyone who can make it, to help us 
raise money for the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
