Re: [RC] USA WEC Selection Question - Joe LongOn Sat, 22 Jul 2006 12:27:51 -0600, "Sisu West Ranch" <ranch@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I personally would not want my horse to be ridden by someone else, but I am from working class, third generation American stock. As far as I know my ancestors were city people and one Cornish miner. I'd bet that you would have a hard time finding a previous horse owner in my family tree for a couple of hundred years. I wouldn't object to someone else riding my horse, if I knew and trusted the person and made the decision (which would include some input on how the horse was to be ridden). Kahlil had several other people ride him during his career. I would absolutely not allow a horse of mine to be an alternate to a pool of riders, where I would have no say as to who rode him, and no input -- unless I knew well, and thoroughly trusted, every one of the prospective riders. Especially in such a high-pressure event. Oh, I'm from a poor working-class background as well; no one else in my extended family has ever owned a horse or had any interest in owning a horse. -- Joe Long jlong@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.chiprider.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
