[RC] Completely healthy? - k s swigartCarrie said: If he's going to venture to compare something totally ?unhealthy to something completely healthy, i.e. horse riding,... Anybody who thinks that horse riding is "completely healthy" is off their nut.? The health risks associated with horses are HUGE (mostly because horses are huge), and it is even encoded in many state laws that equestrian activites are "inherently risky." Participants in horse activities may decide that the health risks associated with equine activities are worth the benefits (pleasures) that you get from participating, but that does not, by any means, make horse riding comletely healthy. The pleasures that can be derived from equine activities can be very addicting, and, as a concequence, attract people with addictive personalities.? There are substantial mental, physical and social health risks associated with horses.? Horse people would be wise to be aware of and on their guard against them. And to be more understanding of other people's addictions... kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
