I hear that -- and I apologize if I've offended anyone.  And I'll repeat, I'm not saying I'd do any better.

 

It did surprise me, but after all -- it's only looking at snapshots, a moment caught in time.  I'll also say that I saw many outstanding riders and horses going up that steep, rocky trail.

 

Hmmm... maybe if I finally make it to Tevis, I'll do the bypass trail so no one will catch my mistakes on camera!

Subject: [RC] [RC] Equitation at Cougar Rock?

Sometimes the horse starts lunging up the rock before the rider is ready, and the lunging itself can throw the rider off balance. You have no choice but to allow your horse to go on and just do the best you can, hesitation at this point is very dangerous and you risk your horse turning and falling. Better to just hang on & get it over with whether it looks pretty or not.(:>)
