    [RC] Are you kidding????? - Maggie Mieske


     
    <If, after 2-3 hours/week of bareback riding for 6 weeks, you can't cross an arena bareback, you have, IMHO, no business being on a horse, with or without saddle.> 
    Amanda,
    This comment was WAY out of line, especially in light of your admitted "dumb things on horseback".  I doubt you realize how many years Merryben has been riding or you wouldn't have made such a dumb statement.  And it's almost certain now that you have bragged about only having ever been hurt once, that you most assuredly will soon be hurt again....never, ever brag about how long it has been since you have been hurt or come off your horse.  :)  It's an open invitation to the fates to put you in your place and knock you down a peg or two...I know this from experience.  :)  And I did NOT regain MY confidence from riding bareback.  For some of us, that would be more damaging to ourselves and our horses!  Please engage brain before opening mouth next time.  :)
