[RC] Mongolian ride and other questionable activities - Sandy Adams
You know, most everyone agrees that the horses are not willing participants - they do what we MAKE them do when we saddle them up, for the most part.They may truly LIKE a lot of what we enjoy doing with them, but make no mistake - as we have purported for YEARS, much of what makes a good, workable team is...being a TEAM! That means many things, but one thing I KNOW it means is making decisions - for your partner who has no voice - that are in his or her best interests. This event and others like it IMO are not good decisions.
When one does EVERYTHING RIGHT, by the BOOK, safely and with all prudence, things still CAN and DO go wrong - and horses die, people get hurt. So why on GOD'S GREEN EARTH would one NOT want to do everything right - to do everything in one's power to care for that dumb partner, and to know at the end of the day.... they did not abuse the privilege given to us - to share in some EXTRAORDINARY events with these beautiful creatures??
