Or maybe because I have spent much time riding alone....
Or maybe because I have spent much time riding outside an enclosed arena....
Or maybe because I have spent so much time on green horses....
I have learned
NEVER LET GO OF YOUR HORSE!
It is pure instinct for me to still have a hold of my reins even after I
have been dragged over a cliff and 30 feet down the trail, over boulders,
through water.
Yes, you can get dragged, and yes you can get a rope burn. But that beats
having your stallion breed somebody else's mare, your loose horse
upsetting other horses on the trail, requiring somebody else to catch your
horse for you, a long walk home, or a long search for a loose horse if you
are in unfamiliar territory.
It is an instinct that endurance riders would do well to cultivate (even
though it is against what most riding teachers teach in a riding school).
