I'll be nervous on ecurbh's first trail ride....I am such a worrier. I want it to be totally safe for him, and so much can happen.

I hope we get to go before too long though, I have friends with quiet enough horses for him to borrow one perhaps, and we can sandwich him in between us ;~D

Yeah, I kind of think that's how my instructor feels. I'm not going to do something foolish but I think knowing things can happen keeps me alert and making me a better rider.
