[RC] minimum age? - Mary Campbell-CrowderI truly have no major opinion either way on setting an age minimum. That said, as a former Trail Guide (yes for 10 years i gave horsey rides to the non-horsey public) I can honestly say that there are people out there who have no idea how dangerous a horse can be for a child (or an adult). HOLD ON TO YOUR FLAME BUTTONS!!! I also know that us horsey folks know those risks, and we acknowledge them everyday. I absolutely applaud Colton and his parents for bringing up the young cowboy in a knowlegable environment and teaching him as best they can. I think it's a huge accomplishment!! I only know that I have seen some ugly accidents involving both children and adults. So everytime one of us puts a foot in a stirrup we take a chance. Obviously someone out there will eventually make a bad decision, and someone else will climb on their soapbox again, until that time I say RIDE ON Little Man, Little Woman, or whoever!! One day if I ever have children
they will be brought up on the back of a reliable horse and if they want to ride endurance i will love them even more. JMHO!!
