...It’s good practice for the horse to get use to, I just don’t want to do it while I’m by myself.

And I understand that too. I've always got somebody with me when I'm riding, so we're a little bit more inclined to do that kinda stuff, although I don't know what I'd do if anything ever happened to either of us when we're out in the middle of nowhere like we usually are. There's no cell phone service out there, and I sure as heck couldn't carry him out myself. I guess all I could do would be to ride for help. It would be a long time coming at best, but I guess it'd be better than nothing and you'd just have to hope that it'd get there in time. Not something I really want to think about. It's the kind of thing that convinces people that they need to stop doing things and then they just end up existing rather than living, and I'd really rather not live like that.

Now how was THAT for a depressing digression?! ;o)

It was pretty depressing:)

LOL...but I have to thank you...you’ve properly shamed me. My horse is saddle, and standing for a few minutes, I think the wind has him wired up...he’s swinging back and forth looking in all directions like something is about to get him. He can stand for awhile, then I’ll go ride. I’m not moving any trees, but there are a few places I can go where the mud is not too bad, and if I’m wanting to bring him into condition slowly, I need to go, so I’m not caught in May riding the snoot out of him.
