It is quite grown over and washed out, and the one time I tried to ride through there with Monty, the horses in the paddocks that back up to that chain link fence started running when they saw/heard my horse walking on the other side of the fence. <BR/>SolitaireMarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573053727692879169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187426796583947781.post-57162277578645597492008-08-17T09:29:00.000-04:002008-08-17T09:29:00.000-04:00I remember years ago (70's & 80's) the...I remember years ago (70's & 80's) there was a trail along the outside of the stable that you are no longer able to pass through. It was narrow and between the chain link of the farm's paddocks and a white wood fence that protected the path from the road, but could be easily ridden through even with a western saddle and haybelly horses.

Unless the horse rolled on her, and there was a possibility of spinal involvement, (either say neck or pelvic fracture,) or chest trauma from being rolled on, LifeFlight *probably* would have been grounded, and patient sent by land transport. Either way- I sure hope she recovers Mrs. Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269132012512166439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187426796583947781.post-75321818687311230632008-07-16T11:17:00.000-04:002008-07-16T11:17:00.000-04:00That sinks!

I have a feeling the conversation went along the lines of someone saying "Thank goodness those two trail riders didn't ride through when the helicopter came down" and someone else going "Yeah, that would have caused another accident and more helicopters to come" and that caused the manager or owner to think about being sued and that is why they are restricting access. And it seems oddAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187426796583947781.post-62501850949507500492008-07-15T19:05:00.000-04:002008-07-15T19:05:00.000-04:00thanks chris!

"sigh" Guess we'll just have to see if things change. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, I'll try adding the caulk holes to the shoes and working with road studs.SolitaireMarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573053727692879169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187426796583947781.post-74146139422861783372008-07-15T18:26:00.000-04:002008-07-15T18:26:00.000-04:00How frustrating!

I think the carrot gesture was a lovely idea but agree with your husband that it's probably on account of liability that she's wanting to restrict access through her property.<BR/><BR/>At least with a horse show you can prepare for the event and as a property/business are gaining something from it - exposure, fees, etc.<BR/><BR/>To let people pass through the property whenever Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
