Y'know, one thing that no one has mentioned here is that kids need outlets
in life other than hanging out in the street, doing drugs, getting
pregnant, etc. Heidi

*Heidi, I think all of us, especially those who have raised kids with
horses, or grown up with
horses totally agree here.....but again, to put things in perspective, those
of us that are objecting
are protesting the sub-school age toddlers that have participated in the
sport.  There are many ways
they can be involved and enjoy horses without being subjected to the dangers
of a sport where
adults and fit horses compete.  I don't think that many kids this age are in
danger of hanging out, or
doing drugs.  Very young children can enjoy and learn about horses in more
controlled and safe
and appropriate ways.
