I have also had an absolutely ridiculous
obstacle! There were several of us riding together on a dirt logging
road in SC on a NATRC ride. As we came around a curve, about 10 yards
beyond us was a 6' pink & white rabbit with ears over 7'!!!! This
wonderful rabbit was holding a bright silver platter with cookies on it.
The rabbit then instructed us to "one-at-a-time approach and take a
cookie from the tray"! Each of the three horses that I was with
bolted sideways off the road, into the trees and prickers. My horse
walked up to Mr. Rabbit and proceeded to help herself to his cookies!
Hah! Anyway, tell me when you would ever encounter nonsense like that on
trail!!!

This post is the final straw.I have got
to try a CTR ride.I wish I had known about this approach to learning the
sport when I started last spring I made the mistake of leasing a horse
from an experienced rider and actually asked for ANY suggestions or
criticism that might help me.(trust me this is not the way to go if you
have a fetish about being judged (nagged, browbeaten etc.).Just kidding
coach/maam.

just very theatrical)
