I guess what I am trying to say is that a ride is what you make of it. If
you have a bad attitude going into it, it will probably not be much fun
anyway. If you go to the ride deciding to make it a great fun ride, then
you will have an easier time!! Power of positive thinking. Then of
course, there are those that are horrendous no matter what. In my opinion,
if you are not willing to speak up, boycott, or otherwise complain about
the ride to those in the know, then you have no right to complain about
it. The rides cannot go on if they don't have participation, so if it's
so bad, then show your non-support and don't go!
I have seen too many people afraid to speak up for fear of losing a ride.
I'm sorry but if the ride is that bad, then it probably should be taken
off the ride calender!
I guess I will catch a lot of flames for this, but that is *MY* opinion
and I will stand by it. If you don't like it, don't go. If you like it,
then go and take friends. That's how rides are built and put out of
business both.
If it's a hard ride to you mentally before you start, then it will be hard
all day. If you can make yourself think it will be hard but doable, then
you will have an easier time. The horses pick up on your mood. have a bad
day, and your horse will too!!!
