*shrug* she is thirteen. that said this was her first trail ride on stjarni under her dad's supervision, and it's not hard to leave a line on a horse. (i *think* she may have ridden stjarni on the trail when we were at our old barn, but that would have been in a larger group and under my own supervision, and over a year of lessons ago for her.) > >>>> i had my adventures (and I think now my student has had one of her > own), but neither i nor my pony came to harm > > There were no seatbelts when I was growing up either, but I certainly use > them now. i fail to understand the relevance of your metaphor. --vicka
