I've been told I'm a decent rider but can't get pst this "arab fear." OK...now go ahead and laugh at me!
Fear is never funny. When I broke my ribs last week it was off my Spotted Saddle Horse. The worst injury I ever had was off a mule with 3,000+ miles. My arab mare is probably the safest horse I have. Most people on the trail think she is a really pretty quarter horse. She is built like one of the old time quarter horses with a pretty head, not really too typey arab......The worst thing is that "accidents" happen. Who would have figured that both stirrups would break at the same time at the same place. I could not believe it when I saw my saddle last night. Both stirrups are still in place but the bottom half is missing on each one. I did not have a snowball's chance in hell of staying on that horse.................mb
