Calm down, Maggie. I instantly put myself in their shoes and felt the horror 
I'm sure we would all feel if we gravely injured someone with our horse or 
our car. Nevertheless, SOME lawyer, SOMEWHERE could conjure up a case 
against the riders, just as participants in vehicular accidents have been 
prosecuted. It is something to bear in mind...equestrians are not exempt 
from the laws of the land.

On the other hand, not having been there to see the finish line scenario, I 
cringe at the possibility that a truck could have so successfully blocked 
the raceway at such a critical stage. All the ingredients of disaster...
