• face Posted : 10/25/2010 10:44:21 AM I have the same Pet Peeve. Because of this we typically will not do big public rides anymore. When people do this they have no clue the experience of the horse and/or rider that they are coming up on. We were at a ride that was for a GREAT cause, but had people doing this all the time and our horses would end up spinning around, backing into ditches and just totally freaking out. VERY RUDE and can be VERY dangerous. This was also the 1st, and only, time I saw a big boom box strapped on a horse that was blaring music. When I ride I want to hear nature, not someone else's blasting music.  I was also amazed how how many drunks were riding!

• danastark Posted : 10/26/2010 3:23:31 AM Had something similar happen when we went camping with the friend of a friend.  We're riding along and she pulls out her little transistor radio, cranks it up and starts wailing along. I'm trying to enjoy the scenery, the hawks flying overhead, the sound of the horses' feet along the trail....... sigh..... city folk!

• hunterseat Posted : 10/27/2010 12:26:56 AM Please do not run up my horse's butt.  No, I may not have a red ribbon on his tail but if you piss him off he's gonna kick you anyway.
