Re: [RC] Tent Camping & Safety - Linda S. Flemmer----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Trefethen" <tref@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2006 11:41 AM Subject: Re: [RC] Tent Camping & Safety I was at a Swanton ride when a tired rider put a sheet on her horse who was standing right next to its portable corral and inadvertently the cinches went over both horse and panel. She attached the cinches and as soon as the horse took a step, it realized that the corral was coming with. Yikes! I wonder if the horse was happy about ever wearing a sheet again? Horses are accidents waiting to happen and despite all the caution we can take, stuff still happens. PS: I am very glad you weren't in your tent when it got nailed.
ME TOO! We're getting a LQ this spring for a number of reason, but mainly
our comfort in middle age. I've had people trip over our tent, the horse
incident, almost run over at tnight with a big rig pulling in, extreme
weather (snow, cold, rain & DEEP mud) that detracts from wanting to continue
to tent camp.
Sleeping in the dressing room of our un-insulated trailer can be a wake up
call during a cold night. Ever roll over & touch the cold aluminum wall?
("I'm AWAKE, I'm AWAKE!)
Either way, "roughing" it like this has gotten us to a great many rides that
we enjoyed immensely. I wouldn't have missed it for the world, but I'm sure
looking forward to a little bit of luxury this year.
Linda
