I was forced to ride the nags for two summers before I was twelve to
build character. Motorcycles have a kill switch, but firing a 45 into a
horse's skull at 25 mph would still mean I'd be seriously injured or
become dead. I had one take off downhill with my baby butt in the
saddle. Trots suck. Gallops are better. That run toward the stable was
the smoothest ride I ever had on a horse. Real Nevada wranglers saved
me.
I'm with you.
