Re: [RC] [RC] Kids, ponies and distance riding... Get a grip people - Sisu West Ranch
Small riders, and galloping runaway horses are a
normal trail hazard. I can remember a number of times when my children
were subjected to that. The only difference was that it WAS NOT on an
endurance ride. I just made sure that they rode horses that had more sense
than to run away.
By the way, strength does not stop a runaway
horse. I don't think any human is strong enough to stop a ruanaway by
strength. You stop a runaway horse by the use of proper technique.
All riders should be trained, by a good instructor, about how to guide and
control a runaway, or safely bail out, before being let out on the
trail.
