I have also used Green ribbon for
newbies or riders with green horses, and I always give a "speech" during
the ride briefing about experienced riders being extra careful around these
riders and to observe them for a few seconds after they have been passed, just
in case the newbie is getting into trouble on a freaked out horse.
There is no greater way to turn off a
new rider to the sport than to have an "experienced" rider go blasting
past them and leaving them in a tailspin!
