This is so sad. Gosh, I would hate to loose a horse that way. I don't blame him for being upset, although I don't know what we can do about it other than slow down at blind spots.

 

Is anyone going to the Ride on June 9th at Descanso California?

I am near Phoenix and am hoping to buddy up with someone. Anyone planning to go? I can drive and have a three horse with partial LQ.

Subject: [RC] Sued for speed

 

Hubby's coworker isn't a distance rider, but last

Saturday he was doing what many of us love to do -

trucking on down the trail. As he popped up over a

rise, he spooked two horses and they bolted. The

riders both fell off and sadly, one of the horses was

injured and died. Apparently, the horse's owner is

going to sue the rider who spooked the horses, on the

grounds that the rider was going faster than was

prudent. Sigh...next thing you know we'll have speed

Limit signs on the trail......
