How horrible!!!

Agree....horrible!

I just can not bring my self to ride anything like that. I test fate every day I ride to work. I don't need to do it for fun.

Poor girl. Hope they can help her surgically.

I saw that story the night it happened. I try not to think about "consequences" when I ride rides. ....yeah Right.

Now one that did give me nightmares, my hay guy told me about a trailer of show horses on the freeway by him and the floor fell out of the horse trailer while it was going about 70 mph. All four horses were so mangled they had to be put down. Now THAT scares me to death. :(

I fully agree Jodi, We all take our life in our hands daily, out of necessity, why do it for fun? I don't want to bungie jump, or ride anything like that. Accidents do happen, and someone has to be on them when they happen. I've done my share of daring things, and I am content to ride my Paso now! :D
