Re: [RC] safety and riding alone. - Maryanne Stroud Gabbani

I have to admit that I don't always tell people where I am going when I go out alone, but I'm also much more conservative when I ride alone. I hadn't thought about it but virtually every time I've hurt myself on a horse it has been while I was with other riders, as well. Alone, I pay much more attention to my horse, so I think I'm actually riding better.

My horse pays better attention when we are alone and
we can change our minds if we want to take a differant
trail than we had origially planned, or go faster or
slower than planned.

At rides people know I have just about everything
anyone could want (you should see my vet stop box) and
it is nice if I can help someone with what I have.

Hope this helps.
