[RC] Tent Camping & Safety - cynthia hambergHello Everybody: As a manager for the AERC, and someone who believes in "safety first," I thought I would comment on tents at ride camps. Think about it: You're all snug in your sleeping bag, in your ultra-lite tent, and somebody's super-fit endurance horse is loose in camp...We all know that horses are loose at times--especially at night, despite our best efforts to secure them. In a tent, youu are literally a HUGE target for that horse to spook at, and step through your tent, and literally on you! --Having been in the hospital from a horse kick, resulting in a severely lacerated liver (in my early twenties), I wouldn't wish that on anybody! Be smart: Sleep in a LQ trailer, a motor home, a nearby hotel/motel, or even in your truck. But, save the tents for the backpackers, or those without our equine friends... Take Care, Cindy Hamberg (PS) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
