So, what you're saying is that this man has led this baby down this extremely steep trail 99 times before?  Amazing.  This is an incredibly lucky person.

 

There was a whole group of people in front of and behind us leading their horses.  We were all slipping and sliding down this trail.  No one was riding except this man and the child . . . . . . . . . and they were passing people all the way down.

 

I say again.  He is a very lucky person.  It was an incredible risk with a precious baby.

I think that a well-mounted adult could ride down this trail carefully and safely. There are probably locals that ride it all the time. 

Um.  They *did* ride down the trail carefully and safely.  They *are* locals - this might have been the 99th time they've done that particular trail, too.
